We listened to you guys and other enthusiasts and have another product that will be safe for high temp areas! Our Internal Exhaust Coating http://www.eastwood.com/ew-hi-temp-internal-exhaust-coating-w-extension-tu.html uses the same concept as the internal frame coating, but with the ability to withstand hi-temps. Hope that is helpful to some of you guys and gals!

| Was cleaning some parts at work using an ultrasonic cleaner with Acetone. Basically, it's a small box that vibrates and heats up the parts. I had some body washers that got some of this frame coating on them. It didn't come off, which is amazing in my book. I've seen this cleaning method take off Masterseries, original paint, base/clear, etc but it didn't do anything to this internal coating. |

I guess when I asked the question the Eastwood guy answered, I didn't specify that what I was wondering was if it was safe in terms of giving off fumes or otherwise poisoning the occupants of the car when running the heat.
I've read on other car forums that it's a great thing for inside your exhaust. However, breathing straight exhaust is so problematic on its own that it doesn't matter what's coating the inside of your system.
Since we run heat through heater channels, the better question is "does using this product present any risk of toxicity to drivers of ACVW's since we'd be directly breathing the hot air that ran through the heater channels coated in this substance." |

We have not tested this product inside of heater channels ourselves to conclude if there are any harmful fumes put into the air from using this product. So use this at your own discretion in those locations.

I sprayed some of this product on a rusty piece of sheetmetal that I cut out of my floor pan. Here it is after I sprayed it on June 4, 2010:
After I let it dry a couple of days, I tossed it outside beside my garage, paint side up. It was rained upon, snowed upon, and even sun-shined upon for well over a year & a few months before I retrieved it. It now looks like this:
Considering I did zero cleaning or surface prep of any kind (just as it would be if used inside a confined area), and then subjected it to our very wet climate for a considerable amount of time, I believe it held up well.

Exchanged two emails with Eastwood last week...... They do not recommend Internal Frame Coating or Hi Temp Internal Exhaust coating for inside heater channels.....Now what, Waxoyl? But the heat!

The stock heater channels have tubes inside them to deliver the hot air forward. If you fill the rest of the channels with the Eastwood product, there's no chance of any fumes entering the car since the air in the channel isn't pushed into the car.

But how do you get it between the tube and the channel?

| Wow!!! Nice pics especially the year+ torture test. I am rarely impressed by most "rust stopping" products but now I am and it looks well worth the money. One added question, acid washing the pan, would this be a good idea, and what is a fair price on having that done? I noticed most of those that posted about using this produce didn't do acid washing prior but as I well have the body off the pan ( I have to replace pan halves) I figure if I can and it's in my budget the most rust I kill the better |

Running board mounting holes, to start with.

| I know this is an OLD thread, but have any of the original folks using the Eastwood frame coating on the tunnel had any further followup or comments. I am about to do this same thing to mine and am curious how well it held up if anyone is willing to chime in???? |
