šŸ§œā€ā™€ļø Meet Tinderellaā€¦

This incredible mermaid sculpture by blacksmith artist ArtFe by K Paxton Blacksmiths recently came through Forfar Galvanisers for hot dip galvanising, and thereā€™s a very good reason why her protective zinc coating matters!

Once galvanised, the zinc develops a protective patina which helps protect the steel beneath from corrosion. How quickly zinc corrodes depends on the environment itā€™s exposed to ā€” particularly relevant for Tinderella given where she now calls home! šŸŒŠ

Want to know where she ended up? **Watch to the end for the revealā€¦** šŸ‘€

The revealā€¦ ......................itā€™s a poodle! šŸ©

Fresh out of the galvanising process at Forfar Galvanisers and ready for www.instagram.com/forged_in_fife/ Forged in Fife to collect.

From a handcrafted piece of steelwork to a freshly galvanised finish, itā€™s always great to see something a little different coming through the plant.

Did you guess correctly? šŸ‘€
Not seen this amazing piece before? Pop back to last week's post where this perfect poodle emerges snout first from the zinc bath at FGL!

When galvanising is considered early, the whole process runs more smoothly.

Design decisions are made with coating in mind.
Fabrication supports the treatment process.
And the end result is more consistent, with fewer surprises along the way.

At Forfar Galvanisers, we often support projects at different stages but the best outcomes tend to come from early collaboration.

If youā€™re planning a project, our guide gives a useful starting point:

A conversation at the right time can save time later.

Galvanising works best when itā€™s part of the plan - not an afterthought.

Early discussion allows design, fabrication and coating requirements to work together, rather than against each other later on.

Itā€™s not about adding complexity, but avoiding it:
ā€“ Ensuring correct venting and drainage
ā€“ Considering bath size and handling
ā€“ Aligning finish expectations from the start

These small considerations early on can make a significant difference to project timelines and outcomes.

Our guide outlines where galvanising fits within the wider process:

When should you involve your galvaniser?

ā€“ When itā€™s ready for coating?
ā€“ Once fabrication is complete?
ā€“ Or during the design stage?

In reality, the earlier the better.

Considering galvanising upfront can help avoid costly delays, rework and unexpected challenges, while ensuring the best possible protection for your product.

Common galvanising issues often donā€™t start at the galvanising stage.

They start earlier (in design and fabrication) when coating requirements havenā€™t been considered until the end of the process.

Things like venting, drainage, material choice and fabrication detail can all impact how successfully steel can be galvanised. When these arenā€™t aligned upfront, it can lead to delays, rework or compromised results.

Weā€™ve put together a simple guide on when to involve a galvaniser in the process:

Sometimes the biggest improvements come from earlier conversations.
