Here is a venting guidance video from Wedge Galvanising

what can happen when an unvented items is dipped and it bursts.

By the way, I was told lately that galvanising sticks better if the steel surface is slightly corroded. Anyone know if this is true?

Possibly the corrosion leads to a rougher surface which results in a
thicker zinc coating. Items are intentional roughened by sand blasting
for that reason.
