Now then Malcombe Gregory is starting to make superb injectors with bronze steam cones that do not suffer from Zinc errosion like brass ones do and I hav...

A smooth surface is best as ingress of water then frost causes spalling or surface break up. I put P V A glue diluted in the mix to give some form of waterproofing but it is the s...
