Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 cutting out the infected (affected, but rust is like a cancer, so i say infected) and weld in plates to replace the metal that got cut out. Thats how its done isnt it homy? Its how we've always done it in my mates shed... (actually, that probably means its the wrong way then!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(actually, that probably means its the wrong way then!!!) i netralised the rust first ,then bogged it ,will be better for me just to replace the door when it falls off ,I'll wait for a silver one to come availible .
