How do I install these nails?

Troubleshooting

Nail is bending during installation.

Use a nail set to ensure the nail is driven straight. Pre-drill a pilot hole if working with hardwood.

Head is not setting below the surface.

Use a nail punch to properly set the nail below the surface. Adjust the force applied to the punch to achieve the desired depth.

Rust appears on the nails.

Apply a rust inhibitor or primer and paint. Ensure the nails are protected from moisture and humidity.
