Master the practical art of tinning and zinc coating with this detailed, how-to guide. This edition provides step-by-step methods for cleaning, pickling, and finishing metal castings, including gray iron, to achieve durable, bright tin and zinc coatings. It combines hands-on procedures with safety-minded tips to help craftsmen improve both appearance and longevity of coated parts.
The book walks you through preparing sanded and cleaned castings, choosing acids for pickling, and using rolling barrels and wire handling to ensure even coverage. It covers single- and multi-kettle tinning setups, controlling heat, and applying finishing oils for a clean, white, glossy finish. Practical notes address common issues like dross, flux effects, and color hints that indicate proper heat levels.
- Clear, shop-floor instructions for pickle tanks, dross management, and surface preparation
- Guidance on operating one or multiple tin kettles and achieving consistent coatings
- Tips on metal handling, cooling, and oil finishing to prevent sticking and improve luster
- Practical considerations for yellowing, temperature control, and final rinsing
Ideal for metalworkers, foundry staff, and hobbyists seeking a trustworthy, hands-on reference for galvanizing and tinning techniques, including a special focus on tinning gray iron castings.

However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
