Troubleshooting
Pins bending during insertion
Ensure you are using an appropriate driving tool and striking with controlled force. Verify the material thickness is suitable for the 25mm pin length.
Uneven finish after application
Handle pins with care to avoid scratching the bright finish before or during insertion. Ensure the driving surface is clean.
Pins not holding securely
Check that the pins are driven fully into the substrate and that the material being attached is flush against it. Ensure the substrate is dense enough to hold the pin.
