How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

No real update. Exahaust has arrived, but been called into work all week so can't get it fitted.
Bidding on a wing on Ebay, its a tenner at the moment.
Found a hole in the corner inside the car can see through to the floor, only about 4mm big, so got to get that patched up

I tried the Hammerite's spray underseal with Waxoyl, I gave up using it and flung it in the bin. How can they charge £8.99 for such shite.
I continued work with the good old paintbrush!

Needs another coat when it is dry.

As said it doesn't set solid and is a mare to get off. Silver hammerite would have been a better option imo... and probably cheaper too.

Well when I did my Escort arches with this stuff it set hard. This wasn't Waxoyl. The stuff in the an was.
I don't want to take it off lol
If it doesn't set completely hard I could just coat it with hammerite
The carpet will be going back in once its dry so won't see it.

Cheers Davey. I just want the car sealed inside and out 100 percent.
Every car I have had has suffered with rot. This one is pretty solid so I just want to maintain that.
If it stays tacky in the boot it don't matter. It will be lined with carpet. Hard lesson learnt lol

i like how everyone is criticizing just because its not a normal way to seal, if it works then what the porblem? as when its covered by carpet it wont be seen, and its not as if the boot carpet comes out every day is it?

No matter what way I would seal it wouldnt stop the rot 100 percent.
If it was an area which could be seen then i would perhaps sealed and painted properly over the top. Its under carpet all the time.
Don't think anyone will look at my car then head to my boot and lift the carpet will they lol
It will do a better job than the bare metal.
