A friend has an antique bathtub...the drain fittings are zinc....as is

can't find a source for a thin sheet (1/64"? 1/32"?) of zinc about 5" x
5". Can anyone here help?

Is there enough of the original that he could take it to a plating shop,
and have them build it back up? I've done this with a couple of odd
fittings. Works like a champ... if there's enough of the original left...

I have a source for moisture cured urethane zinc primer. Really the MCU
coating and a pail of zinc powder. Could make with something else and coat
with the zinc primer (or toss the MCU and mix the zinc with epoxy and coat)
