    I thought the same I know my test has not been very scientific but I know what I will be flooding my sills with I have done loads of other tests with the Bilt Hamber primer and the Epoxy Mastic from RustBuster...

    It would have been nice to test the Dinitrol stuff

    S13's already have sacrificial anodes.... they're called sills.

    Well it's 6 weeks ago I started the test and decided to strip the waxy stuff off with solvent to see what was behind. The Dynax is a dark brown and could be hiding corrosion behind it.

    As a reminder this is how the plates looked 6 weeks ago. Slight surface rust.



    Wax removed





    TBH I thought it would take a lot longer but it just shows how aggressive road salt is The salt was in a jug topped up with water, I only poured the solution on the plates.
