Of course you are right, I just wanted to be dramatic. 😤 This is the least ideal outcome but it's where we are. I have some very old zinc paint that I have used on other parts, I just hate the idea of applying it to cover a break in a freshly galvanized surface. That said, with the cappings on and painted I don't really have a choice now. I'll look up ZG-90 as if I'm doing it, I want to know it's right. Just need reference photos for the fittings and to do some part number hunting now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMc Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I've always used 'Galvafroid' paint to cover the cut surface on Galvanised metalwork, such as conduit, trunking, tray work, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Yup, it is very similar stuff, no undercoat required etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very good, but the ZG90 is easier to use, aerosol, dries in minutes, and is less brittle, I think. The aerosol is more even than brushing the galvafroid.
