Primarily used to re-galvanize areas of sheet metal, angle iron, pipes and other structures that have been welded, brazed or cut with an oxy-acetylene torch. A favorite for use in the field to protect previously ungalvanized parts as well as to protect structures that are too large or too costly to disassemble and dip in galvanizing tanks.

Procedure

Chip all slag from welds and wire brush loose scale, rust, paint, grease,dirt and other contaminants from surface to be protected. Bring base metal temperature to 600°F (316°C) and rub Galvover Rod over this area. No flux is needed. Spread the alloy by using a wire brush, cloth or paddle. Do not direct flame on the Galvover Rod but rather let the heat from the base metal melt the alloy. Keep the base metal from overheating.
