Bolt Dipping Goes Viral: Hague Fasteners on Social Media

At Hague Fasteners, we’ve always believed in precision, craftsmanship, and doing things the right way. But we didn’t expect a bolt dipping video to attract millions of views on Instagram and Facebook.

It started with a behind-the-scenes clip. One of our machinists dipped a freshly made bolt into hot wax for transport and handling protection. That short video went viral across Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. It resonated with two very different audiences—engineers who admire the technical accuracy, and everyday viewers who simply enjoy the satisfying motion.

Why It Works

Engineers see a visual confirmation of tolerances held and standards met. Everyone else just finds it… oddly satisfying.

We embraced the response. Our social media now features a mix of technical content, manufacturing insights, and what we call “fastener ASMR”—videos that highlight the beauty of engineering in motion.

Bolt Dipping Goes Viral

Our engineers dip bolts in protective wax to safeguard threads during transport and handling, ensuring each fastener arrives in perfect condition. A short video of this process drew unexpected attention online. Viewers responded to the precision, consistency, and clean execution—qualities that reflect our commitment to manufacturing excellence. In a fast-moving digital space, this glimpse into our workshop offers a rare moment of clarity, control, and craftsmanship

Small Quantity Manufacturing Without Idle Claims

Countless companies offer bold claims like “if its standard we stock it, if its non-standard we stock it too”.

Here at Hague Fasteners we offer a simple and substantiated claim. If its not available from stock we will manufacture Bespoke Bolting for you in whatever delivery time you need.

There is no way anyone can stock special hex bolts, nonstandard socket screws or custom hex nut that’s not even designed yet, but once you’re happy with your specification you can source it from Hague Fasteners, manufactured to order, often as fast as if it were in stock, if required.

Being in the Special Fasteners industry for over forty years we know almost everyone claims they can make any specials that are beyond the standard stocked range. The reality unfortunately is not always quite so simple.


That fine thread BSF to UNF Tapping Thread Adaptor that’s non-standard, sure it can be made for you by standard stockists but do you really want to order 50,000pcs and wait 20 weeks? Just last week Hague Fasteners produced and supplied 4 off 1/2″ / M18 Tappex type self cutting thread adaptors in stainless steel in just a few days.

Hague Fasteners have decades of manufacturing expertise producing small quantity special components to all industries around the World, from Major Multi National Corporations to Small Self Employed Operators such as Modern Artists, Entrepreneurs Prototyping or Small Racing Engine Tuning experts.


We are proud to have worked on a Manifold bolting solution to a Private Raceteam this month that solved a failing bolted connection at high temperatures and secured Pole Position, a record lap time, and a First Place Podium Finish.
