Hi all.  My front door glass both sides needed to be replaced (too heavily scratched to repair properly) so I gently got the bottom frame off the glass and happy I did as the inside was stating to rust.  So I've cleaned them up, given them a coat of rust converter and paint. Now originally the corners of these frames where they run along the front guides (against the bailey channel) were, what I would best describe as look like they had been dipped in plastic.  I suspect this was to help prevent the frame from rubbing through the bailey channel.  Here's a pic of the corner of the frame I am talking about.

 

Now I'm trying to work out what I can use to replicate this.  The plasti-dip paint isn't durable enough in my opinion.  I was thinking about maybe just dip in some fibreglass resin. Anyone done this or got any ideas.  Cheers Ron

You could try POR15 or KBS, both should give you a smooth durable surface.

I would mix small batch of epoxy etch prime. Dip the corner, let tack dry, repeat. Continue over the four hour pot life, until you get desired thickness. The epoxy is relatively flexible and it is impervious to water. Just my thoughts. You could do similar with epoxy resin. Once again it is more flexible than the commonly used polyester resin.

Thanks gents. All seem good options. I might try the Jaycar first off as it will be the simplest for me.  Cheers Ron
