Rust inside "bump" rail

Bob, After spending several hours blowing and vacuuming 400 pounds of sand from inside my "bump" rail, I then used a suction wand sprayer and blew POR 15 inside the rail. BTW, I also drilled some extra access holes (y'all don't shoot me!) in hidden areas to help remove the sand and to blow...
