Yes, the strips are designed to be cut easily between nail heads using wire cutters.
These strips are designed for indoor furniture. Exposure to moisture may cause the metal to tarnish or rust over time.
You will primarily need a small hammer for the loose nails and wire cutters for trimming the strip to length.
The diameter of the nail heads is 9.5mm.
These are designed for use on wooden furniture frames where nails can be securely driven into the surface.
The kit comes with a supply of matching loose nails; however, it is recommended to keep them in a secure container during your project.
Ensure the underlying fabric is pulled taut and stapled securely before applying the strip. If the frame is uneven, you may need to add a small amount of padding underneath.
Use an upholstery hammer with a rubber or nylon head, or wrap a thin piece of cloth around the metal head of your hammer to prevent scratching the finish during installation.
Check that all pre-drilled holes have been secured with the provided loose nails. If the strip remains loose, use additional loose nails in the existing holes to ensure it is tight against the frame.
To install, begin by positioning your strip along the edge of your fabric. Use the pre-drilled holes on the strip to drive the matching loose nails into the wooden frame of your furniture. For best results, use a small upholstery hammer to avoid damaging the nickel-plated surface.
When cutting the strip to size, use heavy-duty wire cutters to ensure a clean break between nail heads. To maintain the appearance, wipe the strips occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may tarnish the nickel plating over time.
