Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):

• What makes these nails different from standard round-head nails?
  The oval shape and lost head design allow these nails to sit below the surface of the wood, creating a nearly invisible finish perfect for decorative work.
• How do I best use these nails to prevent wood splitting?
  Align the oval shape of the nail parallel to the wood grain before driving it in. This technique significantly reduces the risk of splitting, especially in harder or more brittle timber.
• What's the benefit of the bright finish?
  The bright finish is raw mild steel without additional coating, making these nails suitable for general interior joinery work where a basic finish meets your needs.
• Can I use these nails for exterior projects?
  These nails are best suited for interior applications. For exterior projects, consider using galvanised or stainless steel alternatives that offer better weather resistance.
• What tools do I need to achieve the best results?
  You'll need a hammer for initial nail driving and a nail punch to counter-sink the head below the wood surface for that invisible finish.
• How many nails are typically in a 500g bag?
  The exact count varies slightly due to manufacturing tolerances, but you can expect approximately 150-170 nails per 500g bag.
