Quick question, this was alluded to but not sure if it was Windscreen sealant or Sikaflex pushed into panel gaps? Editor of FunRover - One blog. Read it!

Hello Andy RV
I have been preparing to give my 90 the Dinitrol Treatment so would like to know a bit more. 1. What Dinitrol Products did you use (other than ML)? The list can quickly grow, currently mine looks like this... RC 900 for Cavities and Seams where a Rust Converter is needed. ML Penetrating Primer for general Cavities and Seams. 3125 for all Internal Chassis Box Sections and Bodywork Cavities + a 'mist layer' for all External Surfaces. 445 for Wheel Arches (Stone Chip Protection). 4941 for general all over Final Coat. 2. Did you use each type of Dinitrol from a Schutz can? I intend going down this route and will use a Schutz Gun and Compressor to apply, if you did the same, was it difficult to get this working well? 3. Any photos... or was it just too messy?

I bought this kit;
http://www.rejel.com/rejel-store/classic-kits/din01m.aspx I used the ML3125 in the cavities and doors then 4941 on the chassis / underbody. I also bought a can of ACF-50 for the hinges and any other exposed metal work on the exterior. Yes I used the supplied gun running from my little 25 litre compressor which kept up no problem. When spraying the 4941 through the gun with the standard spray nozzle I ran the air at full pressure and it worked really well, it's got quite a concentrated spray into areas that you physically can't get into. For the ML3125 I initially sprayed at full pressure, this caused the base of the can to bulge and emptied it in 3 'squirts', it pressurized the can so even when my finger was off the trigger it poured out of the nozzle. After that I turned the air down and it sprayed on really well. You need to be careful not to kink the hose because as soon as you do the can pressurizes, then when the kink is released it will release the pressure in the form of ML squirting everywhere! No photos but it looks ok! At the end of the day it's just thick black waxy gunge. |

Also ensure you have plenty of old rags for cleaning up with, I used petrol which worked well, thinners would work as well.
If you care about your drive put a tarpaulin down, do the cavity wax last it drips out. To clean the gun out I filled one of the empty dinitrol cans with petrol then sprayed it through until it ran clear. |

I stuck duct tape over all the holes in the bottom of the chassis rails and cross members before I did my cavities. After a few days, you take it off and the dripping is much reduced. Just remember to clear the holes out again to allow water to escape later on.

Just don't spray near any sources of ignition, common sense.
Plenty of flammable liquids are sprayed everyday, paints, oils, de-greasers ect and I don't see that many people walking around on fire!.. |

Thanks Andy RV that's useful.
Based on the principle of First Prepare...I have been cleaning mine thoroughly recently trying to ensure all mud, oil and a recent diesel fuel leak (breather hose) are removed before the Dinitrol goes on. Did you remove the front wheel arch inner linings and rear light guard linings? Even though mines just over 3 years old, and had an easy life, this cleaning scrutiny has proved one thing, the poor quality of finishing of some of the aftermarket accessories fitted. I have removed the side steps and NAS rear step for a full strip down and tougher refinishing. I think the standard LR mud flap brackets are also destine for a rethink.

No I didn't remove any of the linings, I removed all of the mud flaps and the entire tow bar assembly. Between the rear cross member and mud flaps struck me as an area likely to collect mud and moisture.
Mine is only 12 days old so cleaning was easy.  |

Please could anyone advise if it is worth the effort to give the chassis a coat of say chassis black paint (after treating any rust) and before dinitrol treatment?
