Ukuze ugweme amathuba okuthi kuvele amabala okugcina amanzi, sicela ulandele imiyalelo:
1. Ungafaki izinto ezisanda kufakwa nge-galvanized phezu komunye nomunye, futhi ungazigcini eduze kakhulu
2. Gcina ngaphakathi uma kungenzeka, ngaphandle komhlabathi nasendaweni ethe qelele
3. Qinisekisa ukuthi kunomoya omningi ogeleza ngokukhululeka endaweni yokugcina izinto
4. Susa ukugoqa kwepulasitiki noma ukupakishwa kwesikhashana emikhiqizweni egayiwe uma isithuthiwe, njengoba ukupakishwa kungagcina noma kugcine umswakama ngaphakathi.
5. Udaya lokugcina olumanzi endaweni ekhanyisiwe lungahlanzwa, nokho, inqubo ihlukile kancane kuye ngokuthi ibala lingakanani. Ngaphandle kokuthi kudingeka ukuhlanza ngezizathu zobuhle, udaya lokugcina olumanzi oluthambile noluphakathi lungavezwa ekugelezeni komoya okuvamile bese kushiywa esimweni sezulu. Lokhu kuzovumela ibala ukuthi liguquke libe yi-zinc carbonate patina evikelayo. Uma indawo enemibala ihlanzwa, ukuthuthukiswa kwe-patina kuzoqala futhi kodwa, kuzobuyisela noma yikuphi ukuphela okukhanyayo nokucwebezelayo kokuqala.
