Gentlemen and Rene <br /> <br />As an ex sailor I have had some experience with stainless steel and their are different grades of the the stuff. This is given a 3 digit number denoting the quantity of the various metals in the alloy. I think 356 is a typical marine grade stainless and i have seen new rigging get a distinct brownish colur about it in an hostile marine environment after just a few months but it stops there. <br /> <br />So I think we may have seen some brand "X" stainless steel if it is rusting so easily. but we also may be looking at other reasons for it rusting like other types of pollution affecting the rain! <br /> <br />Further I would ask why are you using stainless? brass is the way to go and unless someone has very good reason for so doing why use anything else, guys lets not try and re invent the wheel! <br /> <br /> <br />Regards <br /> <br /> <br />Tropical Ian <br /> <br />By the way it is snowing in Australia at the moment!
