Title: Galvanized ??? Post by: curdog87 on May 14, 2012, 08:49:43 pm Wanting to work with some galvanized pipe. Question is what is the absolute best thing to Repainting or redip the welded joints with to help prevent rust. Even if once a year or every other to recoat with. Urine is one factor. Thanks.
