The product image below:
is the one I've used. Very good for filling in rust spots. I usually let it dry for 24 hours, then go back with a die grinder or sander, and smooth it down.
POR also makes a product called Marine Clean and Prep & Ready. You definitely want to use (at a minimum) the Prep & Ready on the rusted metal. Keep it moist for about thirty minutes. Use a small metal brush to clean the metal and prep it.
If you have an air compressor, after about thirty minutes of keep it moist, hit with the air hose to dry it off really good.
Once the putty dries for 24 hours, and you've sanded it down (you really need a power type sander...this stuff is very hard), coat it with POR-15.
Wear a long sleeve shirt that you don't mind sacrificing and rubber gloves. If you get POR-15 on your skin, use paint thinner or something equivalent to get it off *immediately*, or you're going to be wearing it for the next 3-4 days until it wears off naturally. I guarantee you, if you don't cover up and wear the rubber gloves, you'll get it on you no matter how careful you are! I know first hand
Other than that, there's no real mystery to it. Very good stuff. Just prep the metal good before using the products for best adhesion.
Oh, makes a good practical joke if you want to paint someone's finger nails while they are sleeping
It's impossible to describe how tough it is to get that stuff off!
