Hi MF and speedy,
Molasses is a no go just too slow for the volume I need stripped and I'm not sure if it would strip the paint.
Peter is doing this for a completely different reason.
I'm also thinking of possibly getting them hot dipped galvanized but then I would need to get a higher price for them and I'm not sure that I could do that. I will check it out and see how much it is going to cost.
