Using Gridwall in the kitchen
 

SWMBO wants to use Gridwall in the kitchen to hang large utensils and
small pots.

It's chromed steel, and I'd have to cut it down to fit - I need about 2'
square and the smallest panel I can find is 2' x 4'. OK, that's easy,
but I'm a little concerned about rust where the cuts would be in a
sometimes steamy kitchen.

Should I be concerned, is there something unobtrusive to treat the cuts
with, or is there a stainless version?

Cheers

It will certainly rust if not protected. There's always clear epoxy.

Yes but would you actually notice? Perhaps you can find little
caps/sleeves to suit? (Not sure what the diameter is). Or sleeve the cut
ends with a little length of black sticky heat shrink?

I could tin the cuts I suppose. I wonder if that would help?

You might find that difficult, varnish would be easier.

It'll probably last long enough until she changes her mind.
