Unifix Sherardised Panel Pins - 30 x 1.60mm - Box Of 5

A sherardised finish is a hot-dip diffusion coating process where zinc is bonded metallurgically to the surface of the steel. This provides excellent corrosion resistance and a durable surface.

The sherardised finish offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for prolonged exposure to harsh weather, additional protection might be recommended.

Sherardising provides a more uniform and adherent coating, offering superior corrosion resistance and a smoother finish compared to typical galvanizing.

Yes, the sherardised finish provides a good base for most paints and primers, allowing you to match them to your project if desired.

The exact number can vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances, but a 100g bag of 30 x 1.60mm pins typically contains a substantial quantity suitable for many small to medium tasks.

They are ideal for general woodworking, furniture assembly, model making, picture framing, and attaching thin materials like back panels or decorative trim.

Ensure you are using a suitably sized hammer and striking the pin squarely. For denser woods, pre-drilling a small pilot hole may help.

Verify the wood is not excessively hard or dense. A slightly larger hammer or a pilot hole can assist. Ensure the pin tip is not damaged.

Check that the pin is driven fully into the material. Ensure the wood thickness is adequate for the pin length. If working with very soft wood, consider a slightly thicker pin if available.
