Mine are getting rusty ands the plastic type coating is peeling off. Any suggestions as to how to strip it? It seems impervious to Nitromors.

I had mine sand blasted then re-dipped (plastic coated) at a friendly local school tech department, as it's something they teach. Badger.
The coating can be bought from frost http:\\

Yup done this one myself,
The best way to do it. Choose a very cold day. So the paint is brittle and not soft. Then heat up along one edge only, not all the way round. Then chip the paint with a paint scraper and it will come off.
Treat with hammerite. Much better at rust prevention.

Thanks Andy, I'll give it a go. Hammerite was what I had in mind if I could only get the original off.
