Aluminum wheels - slow air leaks

[james accordino]

This is much more like an epoxy paint.  I bought a qt.
15 yrs. ago and have painted axles, axle housings,
hubs, cases, etc.  I still have half a can left.  The
surface of the coating is super hard.  The best prep.
is still the key.  The better you can clean it, the
better it will stick.  Also, if you get any, and I
mean ANY of this stuff in the rim for the lid, count
on jackhammering open the can.  It WILL be glued
solid.  Stronger than the steel the can is made out
of.  Ask me how I know.  1 QT. of POR-15, 4 cans.
