About 1/2 cup to a gal. Water. I have hard water. The Right Stuff is very thick like axle grease. Makes it easy to work with and dries quickly. Wear gloves. I find that plain rubbing alcohol gets it off if you catch it quick enough. |

Gyrafoam, Searching the net found "Right Stuff" Permatex® Gasket Maker. Is "Right Stuff" applied as the final top coat over POR-015 or is POR-15 the final product applied? Thank you again for the benefit of your experience. Doug |

WD-40 or other solvent/degreasers are useless on hard water deposits. Scotch Brite Pad can pad can scratch the porcelain. I wouldn't take any cleaning advice from your friend. |

Two different things. POR-15 is used to stop rust. You can even paint it right over the rust. The Right Stuff is a sealant. Make your own gaskets or shmeer it around to seal an area from water. |

Gyrafoam, Thanks for the clarification. Upon removal of all rust, will prep the surface, apply POR-15, followed by Right Stuff. Thank you! |
