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.
