FAQs

Are these nails suitable for outdoor use?

No, these Timco Oval Nails have a bright finish and are rated for Corrosion Class 1, meaning they are only suitable for clean, dry, and low humidity indoor environments. They are not weather-resistant.

What is the approximate number of nails in a 1kg pack?

There are approximately 64 nails per 1kg pack.

What type of hammer should I use with these nails?

A standard claw hammer is suitable. The size and weight of the hammer should be appropriate for the 100mm nail length and the material you are working with.

Can I paint over these nails?

Yes, once the nails are driven and the surface is prepped, they can be painted over. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and dry, and use a suitable primer before applying paint.

What does 'bright finish' mean?

A bright finish means the nails are self-colored carbon steel and have not been plated or coated with any protective layer. This is standard for many indoor nails.

How do I get a truly concealed finish?

Drive the nail head slightly below the surface of the wood. You can then use wood filler or putty to cover the nail head for a seamless appearance.

Troubleshooting

Nail bending during hammering

Ensure the nail is driven straight. Consider pre-drilling a pilot hole, especially in dense wood. Use a heavier hammer or ensure the nail is fully seated in the hammer claw before striking.

Rust appearing on nails

These nails are not plated and are intended for dry, indoor use only. If rust appears, it is likely due to exposure to moisture. Move the project to a drier environment and consider using a rust-inhibiting primer or paint if the aesthetic is compromised.

Difficulty achieving a concealed finish

Ensure the nail is driven fully below the surface. Use a nail set to sink the head slightly below the wood surface if needed, being careful not to damage the surrounding wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These nails are designed for use with a hammer. Ensure you use an appropriate hammer size for the nail length and the material being worked on. For best results, pre-drilling pilot holes in harder woods can prevent splitting.

Compatibility: Suitable for use with most common types of timber and wood-based materials for indoor applications. Not compatible with environments requiring high corrosion resistance.

Care: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep the packaging sealed to protect from moisture. Wipe clean with a dry cloth if dust accumulates. Avoid exposure to damp conditions.
