12kg of zinc

Post by cpedw »

There's a heap of old anodes available for collection from the Oban area. I used to think I would recast this as replacement anodes but since I haven't got round to it in 15 years of gathering discarded anodes, I don't expect to be doing it anytime soon. So anyone who has a mind to do that, or any other application for old zinc, is welcome to pick it up. Let me know if you're interested.

I'm glad to hear that there is some else like me. But only 12 kg? Have you really been trying?

I was thinking about taking my 20kg to a scrappy but have never got round to it. When I do I will also take the 40 ft of 1 inch chain, remains of two 50 kg mushrooms and a 30kg Danforth and also a 60 lb dinghy steel centre-plate if i can find it. Also the 30 kg of stainless steel rigging wire and 10 kg of ss fittings!
