[QUOTE="tytower, post: 781385, member: 2399"] Phosphoric acid will dissolve it too but slowly. I suspect any acid will eat zinc . You can buy rods of zinc and heat your metal with an oxy torch then melt on the rod . This gives good repairs for damaged Gal. The galvanisers I use only melt pure zinc ingots for hot dipping . Have not seen any other chemicals used except a degreaser/cleaner before dipping. Concreting mesh but fine stuff would probably suit you more for that job . I would use the gal and heat the stuff up for a few hours before use to burn off anything transferable . [/QUOTE]
