I've sandblasted my MGDT frame inside and out (as best I can inside the box steel frame). I've replaced the portions that were rusted through and I've sprayed the whole thing with 3 coats of POR-15 and finished it with chaise black topcoat. Because of the shape of the frame there are many placed where it could hold water. I found mice nests in the tubing, etc.
I am thinking of filling all the hollow area of the frame with either spray polyurethane foam or expanding epoxy flotation foam. My hope is that it would 1) eliminate the collection of moisture and dirt in the frame, and 2) add stiffness to the frame particularly in areas where I removed a lot of rust and the metal is thiner and weaker.
Has any body tried this or have any thoughts?
Thanks
