    this works perfectly fine, i been using this method on my wok trucks for years, all those fools saying it will hold moisture and it will be back in no time have never done this..last time checked rust starts on the outside, foam is on the inside.go ahead go to that body shop and get that bill.

      I'm assuming you live in Arizona or California. In a temperate climate rust often forms from water getting inside the coachwork. Left untreated, the car will corrode from the inside. Especially if it's Japanese.

    yes it will not last long but to get an old truck looking good I am all for it, yes I have done it before, you will have some bubbles next year but it will be a long time before it looks as bad as it did, can not treat all of these old beaters like show cars, just make it look good for a few years as cheaply as possible

    For all you experts on foam in the comments foam is a very strong adhesive oil-based and it will not lock in moisture it'll keep it out and it will stick forever and also is a great sound deadener just get some on your hands and let it dry and see how hard it is to get off😂

  • @Sigspearthumb1

      I fixed a geo storm like this and it actually held up for two years. I told the guy it wouldn't last a week. Actually surprised me 😂 I'd lose sleep repairing it with foam now. Some of the local used lots around me actually get away with doing that but most people also don't know what they're looking for. Same as when people panel paint. It drives me crazy. I always point it out and they get mad at me. I just say I didn't do it 😂. People suck doing it that way unless they're just trying to get another year out of it before junking it

      I think you know not much about a foam. Or your knowlege is a bit too old. Theres a foam for outside use, even -30, +50. Ppl use it to isolate windows, or smth like that.. you can spray it on the ground and come to check 1 year later. Then you see that its not like a sponge.
      And if you cover that foam with rubber, or fiberglass, it can last for very long time. But you need to remove old rust as much as posible.
