Availabilty of ZRC Cold?

[MilitantMedic]

Mr. FredT is more or less offline dealing with some Katrina related damages. So does anyone know where I might be able to purchase online or pick up in Hawaii the ZRC Cold Galvanizing Compound (Aerosol)??

Also what is a good clear coat to put over ZRC (faber steel tanks)? Uncle Ricky votes for epoxy, although I'm a little leery of that. Any thoughts?

It's a pretty good website, and the technical people get right back to you if you send them a question. Don't rush the curing either.

What about clear coating?

Talk to the company and see if you can get the stuff on Oahu. Maybe Kilgo's on Sand Island Road has it. There's some other stuff you can use: POR-15 that might be out there. Ask whatever company you go with if you should even topcoat it.

Air Liquide and Gaspro both have ZRC products on Oahu.

Some napa part stores carry it here. Don't know about hawaii. Your other option is to contact a place that supplies paints to autobody shops and/or industrial coaters. Only other thing I can think of is to send me a round trip ticket and maybe I could bring you a can or two. Just kidding!! They probably wouldn't let me bring it on the plane. But hey send me the ticket anyway and I'll help you find some! Jim

I get mine from work. I'm an industrial powder coater and we use it to touch up stuff that we send out to be galvanized. If you can find a galvanizer you may be able to get it from them or at least the name of their supplier.

Sorry I missed the second part of your question. I will check with my supervisor tomorrow regarding clear coating over it. We don't clear coat galvanized parts but I would think you would have to be careful as to what you use to avoid an adverse result. But as Tom said don't rush the cure regardless if you clearcoat or not. Don't have spec sheet handy to see what is recommended but we don't do ANYTHING with the touched up parts for a min of 48hrs. that's not factory recommendation just our internal policy.

Good info I'll have to check with Napa, gaspro and Air Liquide. Yeah I try not to rush DIY stuff...usally ends up piss poor.
