Galmet -Duragal

Blackwoods stock it.

Hi, There's a Blackwoods at Wickham, and I think the new one is open at Beresfield, in the industrial estate. Oops, just had a look at heir website, doesnt mention Beresfield, so Wickham near Newcastle city centre best I can advise. Cheers, Dave

I reckon a Metaland outlet would be a good bet also as they carry most colourbond touch ups so duragal could be half a chance.

If you warm the steel prior to application it does seem to bond better. I just leave the box trailer out in the sun on a warm day and it is warm enough.
The local Mitre 10 has both the tins and the spray can here in Hornsby.

After trying the galmet / duragal etc several times on a boat trailer i was dissapointed with how quickly rust re - appeared thru it.

When i rebuilt the trailer fully a year or so back - I decided to so the same treatement BUT afterwards i coated with the aluminium bitumenous tar stuff - and no sign of any recurring rust at all.

Only mistake I made was when i did the rims - I got the bitumenous aluminium paint onto the tyre valve stems and it melted the glue that holds the valve inside the rubber valve stem.

I run my tandem boat tyres at about 70psi and it belw all the valves out of the valve stems - so I ended up replacing all of them including the 2 spares.

Lesson learned - keep solvent based paints away from tyre valve stems.

Cheers
