Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):

• What makes these panel pins different from standard nails?
  Panel pins feature an inverted cone-shaped head and finer profile, allowing them to enter wood cleanly while remaining nearly invisible in finished work.
• Will these panel pins rust?
  As they have a bright finish (uncoated mild steel), they may develop surface rust if exposed to moisture. For exterior use or humid conditions, consider using galvanised or brass alternatives.
• What's the best way to prevent wood splitting when using these pins?
  Though these pins are designed to minimise splitting, pre-drilling with a fine bit slightly smaller than the pin diameter can further reduce splitting risk in delicate or brittle woods.
• Can I use these pins with a nail gun?
  No, these panel pins are designed for manual hammering. Their head design and packaging make them unsuitable for nail guns.
• How many pins are approximately in a 500g bag?
  The exact count varies slightly, but a 500g bag of 20mm panel pins typically contains several hundred pins, providing ample quantities for multiple projects.
• What's the minimum wood thickness recommended for these pins?
  For secure fixing, the wood thickness should be at least twice the length of the pin. For these 20mm pins, work with wood that's at least 40mm thick when joining pieces end-to-end.
