First of all, this isn't structural, and I know the correct approach is to cut off the angle section and remove the rust.
But, I'm not going to as it's a lot of work, which isn't worth it. And so I'm going for a solution that stops the corrosion, or slows it down to a glacial pace.
I'm fixing this up as an office for my wife, who is a train enthusiast:
Rail wagon conversion
There's a heavy pressing at each end, with an angle section hot riveted to it. Rust has been active between these, to the extent the angle has bowed.
I've cleaned up and patched the outer steel.
I would like to remove all the rust, but it's not happening, so I'll settle for sealing it from the elements, and treating it.
My current plan is to spray Bilt Hamber dynax s50 into the gap, from the top, after painting everything except the gap with epoxy. Then sealing the dynax with pu adhesive and over painting.
Will this work? Anyone got experience of this and got a better idea?
