• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I've got some large vintage gate hinges that have been cleaned and derusted.

Any recommendations as to some clear protective coating ? I had thought about some Rustins Plastic Coating, as I've got some, but that says internal wood.

A spray finish would be ideal.
 
I used Jenolite rust shield on a customer's garage door hinges a few years ago and it seemed to last well Roger. There are probably other brands and maybe a zinc galvanize spray as an alternative but you might have to paint over as it leaves a grey finish.

Thanks Bob. Jenolite sounds the biz.
 
Once you have given it the best chance with the jenolite/ zinc primers/paint etc there will still be places where the coating will wear off. I would cover it all in Waxoyl but if you don't have any then chainsaw bar oil painted on will possible help. Recoat at the end of the dry season.

It only needs to last until Spring hopefully ;) 8-)

Jenolite ordered. Means I can get the cellar gate out of the indoor 'paint shop' aka one of the front reception rooms.
