Hey folks,
I've got a leak in my '98 B2500 stock steel rim. Spoke with a welder about fixing it but the leak is too deep in the rim to get a solid bead on. He reccomended i strip the rust off (theres a lot of it) and lay some JB Weld or fibreglass on it.
I've been using a wire wheel and a drill to strip the surface rust off the rim but I can't get to the leak spot. In the area of the leak the rust is coming off in strips, almost like shale.
I've picked up a cheap sandblasting gun and some media to hook up to my air compressor. What do I need for a setup? I know this stuff can cause damage...
Thanks
