I found a site which says on 3" tubing, Jet Hot coating will run $13 per
foot just for the outside of the pipe. For both the inside and outside of
the pipe, the cost would be $15 per foot. I imagine total Jet Hot cost for
coating a metal 3" pipe would be around $35. Now I wonder what the turn
around time would be on this small of a job. Hmmmmmm........
