Since I got a few questions on my last post, I dug out the original message
from the MGS list. Truly a funny situation. Hope I'm never in a similar
predicament, though.

I saw this on another list I'm on (no, I don't own a truck)
FYI, Herculiner is a rustproofing/undercoating kinda like POR-15.

Great stuff. I would not use anything else for surfaces that don't show to
daylight. It finishes to a nice glossy hard surface and clings like a mad
dog.
Some words of wisdom...
It is an epoxy-type of paint that is kicked off by moisture in the air. If
you
open a can and stir it up, use some and then close the container, it will
start
to harden in the can. Eventually, it will become useless.
Use small cans. I like the sample sizes the best. They are just a few
ounces.
Pour out what you need into a working container for the job at hand. Re-seal
the
POR container ASAP.
Put container in fridge between uses.
Transfer to smaller container to reduce empty volume.
You can reduce it with lacquer thinner to some extent when it gets a bit
thick.
I have not done my frame in it but it would be a great barrier to future
rusting. The one problem with this stuff is that it is very hard. To top
coat it
with paint, you need to lightly sand and that takes a lot of work.
