Reply:yeah, if they ever told me stainless stick root pass I would just put the phone down and call somebody else. Who needs that headache?I had a guy tell me they wanted to put a TIG root on schedule 10 stainless pipe, (all pipe rack work in position), then cap it with stick. I told him that's gonna be a helluva mess, I didn't get a call back. I didn't want one, either.
