Re: Rust coming through new epoxy - help

Thanks Robert. I am planning to peel back that inner lip to see what’s behind it as soon as I finish working my my doors. I’m not sure how I am going to cut it due to the angle and location, if you have a recommendation please let me know.

Rhetorical question here: I guess I understand the need to open up areas where you remove rust to make sure it’s all out, or properly clean and seal the backside of the welds. I’ve been able to to this on about 90% of my repairs and I usually repair more than needed if I can. What about areas where this is impossible? For example, I have had to patch some small areas in my a pillar, the bottom ridge of the back glass in the cab, a small piece up above the door opening. These are inaccessible in all cases and that would apply for about any restoration out there right? . Are you saying these repairs will show up? Or is that realistically only if there was a reasonable amount of rust remaining and the weld wasn’t very clean?
