Forgefix Lost Head Nails - 50mm - Bright Finish, 500g

Lost head nails are designed to be driven below the surface, creating an invisible fastening point for a clean, professional finish.

The 50mm length is suitable for many common joinery tasks. Always consider the thickness of the materials being joined.

While the bright finish is designed to blend, these nails are best suited for interior applications or protected exterior use. Consider using exterior-grade nails for outdoor projects.

Position the nail, tap it in, and then use a nail punch to countersink the head below the surface. Fill the hole with wood filler and sand.

A nail punch ensures the nail head is driven below the surface without damaging the surrounding timber.

Yes, but pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended when working with hardwoods to prevent bending and splitting.

Use wood filler that matches your timber. Apply the filler, let it dry, sand it smooth, and then paint over the area.

Ensure the timber is pre-drilled if necessary. Use a heavier hammer or a nail set to prevent bending.

Use a nail punch with a slightly smaller diameter than the nail head. Ensure the punch is aligned correctly and hit it with a firm, steady blow.
