waxoyl

[angliaalan]

i have don some welding to the under side of my car. do i have to prime it before putting waxoyl on it

[petrolhead]

I paint it with three/four coats of hammerite before waxoyling. My logic being that Waxoyl is always soft and it is quite easy to rub/scratch it away to expose what is underneath. The more layers you have between bare steel and its unwanted parther oxygen or H2O the better.

 

The soft/hard layer is a type of ballistic protection in my opinion. A thick layer of waxoyl slow down stones enough to stop it chipping the paint underneath.

 

Just make sure the hammerite has time to cure properly before you underseal.

 

If you keep waxoyling it every couple of years you shouldn't have to weld it again for a long time. I use mine all year round.
