Aso for cracking issues, My stainless is .065 & thicker, so seriously doubt I will have any issues with that.
Most guys jet hot coat mild steel due to the fact that wrapping the pipes will promote moisture retention & rust pipes out. This is why Im building every part out of stainless.
What grade stainless are you using?
