Product Overview:

When your joinery work demands precision and a flawless finish, these ForgeFix 50mm oval lost head nails deliver outstanding results. Perfect for detailed carpentry projects, these nails offer a clean, professional appearance by virtually disappearing when punched below the timber surface.

What sets these nails apart is their intelligent oval design. By working with the natural grain of the wood rather than against it, they significantly reduce the risk of splitting - particularly valuable when working with harder or more brittle timber species.

Key Features:

• Engineered oval shape works with wood grain to minimise splitting
• Creates an almost invisible finish when properly countersunk
• Raw mild steel construction for reliable performance
• Ideal for precision joinery and decorative applications
• Perfect for installing architrave and detailed woodwork

Applications:

These nails excel in general joinery applications where appearance matters. Their design makes them particularly suitable for installing architrave, trimwork, and other decorative elements where visible fixings would detract from the finished look. For best results, align the nail with the wood grain to minimise the risk of splitting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):

• What makes these nails different from standard nails?
  The oval shape and lost head design make these nails ideal for decorative work, as they can be countersunk below the surface for an almost invisible finish.
• Will these nails rust over time?
  As they have a bright finish (raw mild steel), they may develop surface oxidation if exposed to moisture. For exterior applications, consider using galvanised or stainless steel alternatives.
• How many nails are in a 500g bag?
  The exact count varies slightly due to manufacturing tolerances, but you'll have sufficient quantity for most general joinery projects.
• Can I use these nails with a nail gun?
  These nails are designed for manual hammering rather than pneumatic tools. For nail guns, you'll need specifically designed collated nails.
• What's the best way to prevent wood splitting when using these nails?
  Align the oval shape of the nail parallel to the wood grain and consider pre-drilling when working with particularly hard or brittle timber.
• Are these nails suitable for outdoor use?
  Given their bright finish, these nails are best suited for indoor applications. For outdoor projects, choose nails with a protective coating or corrosion-resistant materials.
