Dnk Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Rang couple more places and got quoted £70+VAT for acid dip - degrease and galvanising. Is the oven treatment necessary would you say? Or does it just improve the finish overall? Will keep looking but just incase can’t find anywhere Howells in the West Mids did my RRC chassis and that was just acid dipped then hot zinc dipped, that was £500 about 4 yrs ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Rang couple more places and got quoted £70+VAT for acid dip - degrease and galvanising. Is the oven treatment necessary would you say? Or does it just improve the finish overall? Will keep looking but just incase can’t find anywhere The oven treatment burns off all organic material and the company also sold it to me as a process that also converts the rust to loose powder that is then easily and effectively dissolved in a acid dip. So, baking is an added stage to just dipping then galvanizing. The oven treatment and galvanizing cost me £120 + VAT which included the transfer of part from the oven company to the galvaniser which meant I only had to drop off once and pick up once. Handy seeing it was 35 miles away from home and a few miles between the factories. If it were me doing it again, I'd get it oven baked first.
