Troubleshooting
Nailhead appears slightly scratched after installation

Ensure the underlying fabric is pulled taut and that no large staples or bulky material knots are trapped underneath the strip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, position the strip against the fabric edge and use a small upholstery hammer to drive the pre-set nails through the designated holes. For best results, use a rubber-tipped mallet or a soft cloth between the hammer and the nailhead to protect the finish during installation. These strips are compatible with most fabrics and wood frames. To maintain the copper finish, wipe gently with a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may strip the metallic coating.
