Going to start on my floor pan this weekend. Metal working isn’t my forte, so I am wondering which would be better for cleaning up the area .
Thanks.
Thanks.
Word is, but I haven't experimented with it yet myself that they are more effective and generate less heat making them less likely to created warpage...Would walnuts shells work the same as plastic?
Heavily depends, if you grind things down you remove the material, wire wheel only removes what is loose, sandblasting does the same.
Personally my preference is to wire wheel so I can see what is remaining, then only grind what I need to..
My 2 cents worth.
Whichever way you decide to do the work, if possible perform it outside. The materials remove and in case of blasting ,the media will go everywhere. I would also cover any areas such as the dash with drop clothes taped down. Make sure the area is well ventilated and wear all the appropriate PPE for your safety.
I have a pretty big hole in the floor. About the size of the plastic mat part of the carpet.
I don't think either will remove rust.Would walnuts shells work the same as plastic?
Don’t have pics yet. It’s the driver side floor pan. Big hole there. Pulling carpet tomorrow.pics of what your working with?
Also I like Rustoleum for floor patching. Red Primer then an enamel top coat.
I am debating on buying another floor pan or trying to fill the holes. They aren’t huge. Watched a video where a guy used fiberglass mat and painted POR-15 into it.
Passenger seatbelt (lap) nut pulled out as I was loosening the bolt. That’s a weld job but not sure about the rest.
