Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results when using Challenge Clout Nails, consider the following:
- Surface Compatibility: Best used with softwoods, plywood, and OSB. Avoid driving these into hardwoods without pre-drilling a pilot hole to prevent splitting the nail shaft.
- Tooling: A standard claw hammer is sufficient. Use a hammer with a smooth face to avoid marking the head of the nail during installation.
- Placement: Space the nails approximately 100mm to 150mm apart when securing felt or thin sheeting to ensure a consistent hold.
- Storage: Keep the box in a dry, cool location. High humidity may accelerate surface oxidation over long periods.
