[SEL] OT Galvanized Boat Trailer

[Mick DeMaria]

Hi Gary:
  I don't have an answer to your problem but how long did it take the 
acid to strip of the galvanized surface?
  I often have to sand the coating off scrap pipe and angle iron before 
welding and painting. A quick dip and rinse would make things alot easier.
