coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2022 09:42 am If the plating gets split is gets altered when the zinc get oxygen. Thus a pink prick will make this process start and it is now rising. Thus it looks like a 'D', but it is too small to be a letter. Just rot. Not the image on the left. Report this Post to the Staff
