FAQs

What is the 'Bright' finish?

The 'Bright' finish is the natural, uncoated mild steel of the panel pin.

Can these pins be used outdoors?

Yes, but be aware that the 'Bright' finish is prone to rust if exposed to the elements. Applying a sealant or paint is recommended.

What materials are these pins suitable for?

They are best suited for joining timber and other lightweight materials in general joinery and decorative applications.

How do I prevent the wood from splitting?

Pre-drilling pilot holes, especially in hardwoods, is recommended to prevent splitting. Use a nail punch to set the pin.

What size of panel pin should I use?

Choose a pin length that is at least three times the thickness of the material being fastened.

How many pins are in a bag?

The panel pins are supplied in 500g bags.

Troubleshooting

Pin bends when hammered in.

Ensure the timber is pre-drilled if necessary. Use a nail punch to protect the head and drive the pin straight.

Pin does not hold the material securely.

Check if the pin length is appropriate for the thickness of the materials. Consider using a slightly longer pin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to use for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
  • The shape helps prevent timber splitting.

  • Cost-effective solution for securing lightweight materials.

Cons

  • The 'Bright' finish is uncoated and may be prone to rust in damp environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Selection: Choose the correct length of panel pin based on the thickness of the materials being joined.
  2. Installation: Use a hammer and a nail punch to drive the panel pins into the timber. This minimizes the risk of bending the pins.
  3. Care: Store unused pins in a dry place. If used outdoors or in a humid environment, consider protecting them with a suitable sealant or paint to prevent rust.
