Epoxy coating of pipes

[MIKEY101DOH]

How practical is it to glass flake epoxy coat small bore (4"nb) pipe work ? I have a fire fighting skid which i propose to FBE coat the pipework but the client seems insistent on glass flake. any advise much appreciated.

Mike,

I don't feel it is a practical or cost effective solution. I have had clients in the past be rather rude about this suggestion. Best to replace the whole piping. Especially for fire-water service lines. Otherwise let them rust. Document everything and move on to the next thing.
