Galvanizing

 Galvanizing

There is a galvanizing company near me that I and my friends use.  We try to consolidate orders because there is a $150 minimum and we have yet to get over that minimum, so I don't really know know how much we could get done for that price.  I do know they will galvanize a chassis but I haven't done that yet.

It is important to take picture of your parts, with counts and wire the parts together because they can sometimes loose parts in the vat.  I dent give then real small parts especially is there is any articulating hinges.  Any threaded areas will need to be cleaned up with tap and die.

The product you get back is often full of "chads". Little overflows of galvanizing the needs to filed, as well as hole that need to be redrilled.  Not normally a big deal but it is time consuming to finalize the parts.

 Vent seals I got some seals from a friend who had them specially made.  The are much softer than the available originals or aftermarket one...
