Do I need special tools for installation?

Troubleshooting
Nailheads appearing uneven or crooked
Ensure the strip is pulled taut before securing the end nails; use a rubber mallet for gentle adjustments.
Strip ends are difficult to cut
Use sharp, high-quality metal snips to ensure a clean cut that does not distort the end nailhead.
Nails not holding securely in the wood
Verify that the wood underneath is solid enough to grip the nail; if the wood is too soft, consider a tiny dab of wood glue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin installation, measure your furniture perimeter to ensure the 5-meter total length is sufficient. Use a standard pair of heavy-duty shears or metal snips to cut the strips to the desired length. For safety, always wear protective gloves and safety glasses to prevent injury from metal shards or stray nails. Once installed, maintain the appearance of the strips by wiping them down with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive or chemical detergents, as these may strip the brown finish and cause premature tarnishing.
