Story:

>break off all the rust and paint over with black silicone
>this year
>take of door trim

>poke my finger into rust
>holes
What should I do? Should I just replace the doors? Or is there any why of fixing this with fiberglass and body fill?

Get a door from a junkyard. That's not terribly structural of a part, so I'd wait until one in the same color comes in.

asked an automotive window installer if silicone is cool for fixing a leak in the sealant, was told by multiple different ones from different places that silicon promotes rust, and to use something that was non-hardening
you fucked up, now the aids spreads

I didn't pick up the car for much, and two doors from the junkyard would be 60% of the cost of resell of this car

Fuck me, at least I did this time. Used CRC rust converter.

Didn't know that, thanks.
Current plan:
>wait for rust converter to act
>find any more rust on my car and remove it as well
>try building up the shell of the door using fibre body filler and tyvek sheet
>fit up cavities with expanding foam
>apply more filler over foam.
>sand and then apply rust kill paint

That is literally all of the worst ideas to fix rust moron, you gotta cut that shit out and just patch it with some fucking metal, it doesn't need to be perfect, jesus christ.
Austrailia really is the worst state.

This yellow part is some type of sponge/foam and it was soaked with water. I hit with a hot air gun till it was bone dry.
