The Cub was galvanised, but may not count as a Moke-alike kit.

We've been looking at one of these lasers for decontaminating stuff at work - not sure the NII/INA will appprove though...

Vinegar is still cheaper
Wrong again scooter boy. The only Mini ever to use galvanized metal was the Moke.

awesome technology, currently too expensive for more than experiments though

I googled on it and found costs ranging from $50k to $450k for the necessary equipment.

Hopefully science will have these down to something reasonable soon, though!
