How do I install these brads?
Installation is simple: push the pointed end through your materials and then fold the two legs flat on the backside to secure the connection.
What is the length of these brads?
The brads are 40mm in length.
Are these brads suitable for heavy-duty applications?
No, these brads are designed for lighter-duty crafting and DIY projects and may not be suitable for applications requiring significant load-bearing capacity.
Can I buy these brads in larger quantities?

Troubleshooting
Brad does not push through material easily.
Ensure the material is not too thick or dense for the 40mm brad. You may need to create a pilot hole for very dense materials.
Brad legs do not stay folded securely.
Ensure the legs are folded flat against the surface on the reverse side. If the material is too thin, the legs may not have enough to grip; consider using a thinner brad or reinforcing the material.
Bright finish appears dull or tarnished.
This may occur with prolonged exposure to moisture or certain chemicals. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store unused brads in a sealed container.

Setup: These brads require no special tools for installation. Simply align the brad with the material you wish to join and push the sharp point through, then separate and fold the legs on the reverse side to secure.
Compatibility: Compatible with a variety of soft materials including paper, cardstock, thin wood, fabric, and foam board. Ensure the material thickness does not exceed the usable length of the brad (approximately 35mm).
Care: To maintain the bright finish, clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the decorative coating. Store in a dry place to prevent tarnishing.
