Npdavies. Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Naval jelly will help with the surface rust, as well as a wire brush, just to clean it for the moment. It will need to be covered with paint or something to prevent rust from coming back. The big holes should be cleaned and fixed with fiberglass, or cut and a new piece welded in. And POR-15 will prevent rust from coming back after it's all cleaned. It's like paint. Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 hit it all with a wire brush then use some Rust Over or Por15 equivalent to stop the rust. Patch the holes if you want. Cover it all in rustoleum heavy rust primer afterwards. Quote Link to comment

Dat Lurka Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Get some good metal screen, I use bronze screen because it doesn't oxidize, and cut pieces to fit. You can bend the screen to make the angles. Put screens in place with some short fiber bondo and build a layer of fiber bondo on the screen, both sides. Sand it smooth and prime it with the rest of the floor before painting it. It can be a permanent fix if you don't intend to do any welding. And you can pop it out if you decide to patch them later.
