Drip Rail Maddnes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've been working on my drip rail. So far I've stripped out the old sealant to bare metal, cleaned and etched, and coated it with 2 coats of Por-15. There were still some deep grooves so I thought I'd apply apply some "Por Patch" the thick version of Por-15 from a tube. Mistake. That suff bubbles even when it's applied not more 1/16 of an inch thick! I was wondering if any of you have had a similar problem. I'm thinking I should sand that stuff down and apply another coat or two of Por-15 then use Por Epoxy (or an epoxy that can stand heat and sun) as you would regular drip rail sealant like 3m Fast and Firm (which seems to crack out in the hot Arizona sun)

Any advice from you guys who have expereince with this stuff would be appreciated
