    Your thoughts on bonding this gas pipe

    Hi, Nice easy one, I have a gas pipe, its metal, but painted, no supply to properly, its just capped, but live. As for bonding, what would you do? Just sand some paint off and bung a clamp on it? That's my thoughts, whats yours? I know you are meant to only put it supply side, but there isn't one.
