Re: [bolger] Re: Galvanize Your Own??
Acetone would be better than nothing, but To get that spray on zinc stuff
to really work you probably have to go through the whole caustic soda wash,
then acid bath route like you would to prepare for real hot dip
galvanizing. It'd be interesting to see how the stuff holds up when applied
to well prepared metal like that.

"Necessity is the mother of invention" is a silly proverb.
"Necessity is the mother of futile dodges" is much nearer the truth.

Ah, I take it then that it won't self heal like real hot dipped?
The peeling could be fixed I'm sure with proper surface prep. Maybe
acetone to clean off what oils are there?

I have used the spray before with limited success. It does perform
as advertised, but is quite suceptable to scratching and will peel.
It is tough to double coat for some reason unkown to me.

as advertised, but is quite suceptable to scratching and will peel.
It is tough to double coat for some reason unkown to me.

McMaster sells a spray that they claim is as good as hot dip
galvanizing.
"Galvanizing Metal Coatings
Protects iron and steel just as well as hot-dip galvanizing.
Coatings are solvent based. Brush, roll, spray, or dip them in
exterior and well-ventilated interior applications.
Cold Galvanizing Coating For long-term rust protection. This
coating "sacrifices" itself to keep corrosion off the surface it's
protecting. Meets MIL-P-46105, MIL-P-21035, and DOD-P-21035a. "
Go to www.mcmaster.com, search for "cold galvanizing"

really low so it can be done in a good old iron pot on your crab boiler,
but.... isn't there a real serious health hazard to inhaling zinc
vapors? Is anyone up to speed on the toxology of heavy metals
poisioning?
Think I would just as soon throw the jing at store bought galvanized or
take my gear down to Uncle Jed's place and have him and the boys "dip"
the stuff for me.
