Looks great Mec :thumbsup:

How does corrosion not set in again after welding work prior to the galvanising?
i.e. is a temporary rust inhibitor applied?

Hi Chris

Thanks ! No nothing applied, just made sure I have kept it dry, it will have a light blasting before galv, as you can see in the pic though no rust has really formed which is great, the inside is still all clean so should be good to go :thumbsup:
