For those of you who are curious how I rust proof these stitch welded areas especially the hollow cavities please have a look at this video. Skip forward to 7:00 for this part.

- First I blow the cavities with compressed air
- Then I peek inside with a boroscope
- clean with a bit of wax and grease remover using the same technique in the video
- coat with liberal amounts of epoxy primer
- spray cavity wax after everything is painted. I haven't done this step yet.
