How to Use

• Choose the correct nail length so you achieve good penetration into the backing timber without excessive breakthrough.

• Align the oval shank so the long axis runs with the wood grain to help reduce splitting.

• Drive the nail until almost flush, then use a suitable nail punch to set the head slightly below the timber surface.

• Fill over the punched head with an appropriate wood filler if a fully concealed finish is needed, then sand and paint or stain as required.

Fixman Oval Lost Head Nails 75mm – Key FAQs

• What are these 75mm oval lost head nails best used for?
  • They’re ideal for fixing architrave, skirting, casings and other visible timber trims where you want a strong fixing that can be hidden and finished over.

• Why is the oval shape important?
  • The oval profile, when driven with the grain, helps to reduce the likelihood of the timber splitting compared with standard round wire nails.

• Can the nail heads be completely hidden?
  • Yes. The small lost head is designed to be punched just below the surface and then filled, allowing you to sand and finish for an almost invisible fixing.

• How many nails do I get in a 1kg bag?
  • Quantities are approximate, but you can expect around 760 nails per 1kg bag, making it a good value option for larger projects.

• Are these suitable for both trade and DIY use?
  • Absolutely. The large 1kg pack is ideal for tradespeople working on multiple installs, and also suits keen DIYers who want a professional finish on their woodwork.
