[TheForge] Zinc Vs. Galvanize

[Kathy]

Frosty made a great summation on zinc toxicity. The only caution remaining
should to be directed at novices:

Do not to confuse actual galvanized parts for zinc plated ones due to the
retailers' bad habit of calling zinc plated parts 'galvanized.' Real galvanized
parts are far more toxic to heat than zinc coated objects. If you don't know the
difference, don't heat them, and don't grind on them; simply avoid their use
altogether.
