Welding on the Increase
Recently we were asked by a 79 year old gentleman to modify a garden tool worth only a few dollars. The steel was thin and cheap, imported from China. This was one of those jobs we knew would make a loss - but service is the name of our game. Our very experienced welder was challenged as thin imported steel is hard to work with especially if you start melting it! That's the way we work - no job too small. Welding services we offer include Mig, Tig, Aluminium, Arc, Easy Flow, Brazing and Solder. People are favouring repairing things; a sign of the times perhaps. |

Powder Coating a Popular Choice of Finish
Customlight
Engineering 2008 Ltd often powder coats engineering products before completion. For those who are curious the process involves spraying a dry powder onto a metal surface. This is done with the aid of compressed air and an electrical charge which helps the powder stick to the desired area. Once coated the item is baked in an oven at around 180 degrees for a short period of time and then left to cool. The end result is a smart shiny coloured surface which resembles a high quality spray paint in appearance, but is actually much tougher.We are fortunate to have our own ovens on site and a skilled powder coating team. |
