The Forgefix Screw Cup Washers are designed for woodworkers, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts looking for a clean, professional finish on their joinery projects. These gold-colored washers excel at distributing screw pressure and preventing surface damage, though they are specifically intended for aesthetic and structural reinforcement rather than heavy-duty load-bearing mechanical assemblies.

They offer some corrosion resistance, but they are primarily intended for interior joinery. For high-moisture outdoor environments, stainless steel alternatives are recommended.
No, the main advantage of these washers is that they sit on the surface, eliminating the need to countersink the screw.
They are designed for specific screw head profiles. Ensure your screw head fits snugly within the cup for the best result.
The washers feature a gold-colored finish for a decorative and professional appearance.
These are supplied in the Forgepack 20 format, containing 20 units per package.
Ensure the pilot hole is correctly sized and that the screw is not being driven at an angle.
Check your screwdriver bit for damage and ensure you are using the correct drive size to prevent the bit from slipping into the washer rim.
To install, place the washer onto the screw before driving the screw into your pre-drilled pilot hole. Ensure the size of the screw head matches the cup diameter to avoid gaps. For care, avoid using high-impact power drivers that might mar the gold coating; a manual screwdriver or a carefully controlled cordless drill is recommended. While they provide decent corrosion resistance, they should be kept away from harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could strip the finish.
