canons and sheep removal

[Andrew Wilby]

Rod Bickerton <Hot dip galvanising is a Sacrificial coating and has limited 
life.>

Which is why we put 2 coats of double pack epoxy paint on the galvanised 
steel frame on Lundy.

The only snag with that plan was that the frame sides had been taken from 
the ship to the lambing shed.

Some of them had been severely crapped upon (technical term) by some of the 
daggy old ewes and even after pressure hosing and keying with acid the paint 
was somewhat reluctant to stick to some small areas. I think we got the 
second coat to seal ok.

Sheep shyt appeared more dangerous that the acid or epoxy!
