Don't use the Hammerite stuff you get in Halfords, it's sh!te IMO.

Dinitrol would be my weapon of choice. 3125 for all the box sections/cavities, 4941 for the underside (black stuff).

Yep :afro: they do a underseal and the thing is it stays flexible so will not crack and let water underneath.

Yes waxoil do a brush on type underseal, to get sills etc done you need air fed equipment so it is best left to the pros.

waxoil also do a pump (with cavity lance) and aerosol can's of the stuff.....

It is messy but It's worked on all my mk3 sills (possibly the most common rusty vw bit ever!)

As wayne said, any box sections can be done by spraying stuff into them but the proper equiptment is needed :smiley:
