Folks.
I've just made a couple of "pull throughs", (a bit like a shepherd's crook), for the wagon out of 3/4 m/s box section with a rope hook welded in one end and finished off with a coat of grey primer, one is about 9' long and the other half that length.
As they'll spend their entire lives outside on the back of the wagon and will get scratched and scraped in use, I'm wondering if heat shrink tubing would be a good form of extra protection against rust. The box section is about 1" across the diagonals so what size heat shrink would I need for that? Or indeed can anyone suggest another (low tech and cheap) method of covering said tube?
TIA.
