Evening all,

So I bit the bullet and had some new stainless pushpit/pullpit and staunchions made up about 4mths ago. Just as I was recovering from the financial shock of doing so I noticed some corrosion on the pushpit, especially where the metal was worked harder. I know this as the original build was incorrect with two corner rails vs one complete rail. So confidence was dented. First couple of pics show pre-polish appearance. I had a go with some stainless polish from WW and took most of the rust off, just some darker spots in the corners of the joint. Raised the issue of some slight corrosion with fabricator who said it was some initial effect that would discontinue after time. So question is - have I been fleeced? Is there such a settling in effect (as I write it, sounds unlikely) or is this not 316 or poor 316?? Other points on the rail where has a slight nick or scratch has seen some spots of rust. Cheers, FM26.
