FAQs

What are these wedges primarily used for?

They are commonly used for glazing applications to hold glass in place, for packing to fill gaps, and in general carpentry for alignment and support.

How many wedges are in a pack?

Each pack contains 50 Bohle wooden wedges.

What are the dimensions of each wedge?

The dimensions are 100 mm in length, 20 mm in width, and a tapering height from 2 mm to a maximum of 15 mm.

Can these wedges be used outdoors?

While they can be used outdoors, prolonged exposure to moisture and weather can affect the natural wood. For long-term outdoor use, consider treating them with a suitable sealant.

Are these wedges suitable for heavy-duty applications?

These wedges are best suited for general carpentry, glazing, and packing. They are not designed for heavy-duty load-bearing applications where specialized materials would be required.

How should I store the wedges?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity to maintain their integrity.

Troubleshooting

Wedge is too loose

Tap the wedge further in. If it still feels loose, try a slightly wider wedge or use multiple wedges together for added stability.

Wedge is too tight to insert

Gently tap with a hammer. If resistance is too high, consider using a smaller wedge or slightly trimming the end of the current wedge if precision allows.

Wedge splits during insertion

This can happen with excessive force on dry wood. Ensure the wedge is not forced and consider pre-drilling a small pilot hole if working with very dense material or if the wedge feels exceptionally tight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for multiple applications like glazing, packing, and carpentry.
  • Natural wood material provides a good grip and is easy to work with.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of 50, ensuring you have enough for several jobs.
  • The tapered design allows for precise adjustment and securing.
  • Lightweight with a pack weight of approximately 424g.

Cons

  • Natural wood can be susceptible to moisture and temperature changes.
  • May require minor sanding or shaping for a perfect fit in some specific scenarios.
  • The maximum height limit of 15mm might be restrictive for very large gaps.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring extreme load-bearing capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These wedges require no setup. Simply select the appropriate wedge for your application and gently tap it into place using a hammer or mallet.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard carpentry and glazing tools. They work well with wood, metal, and uPVC frames.

Care: Store in a dry environment to prevent warping or damage from moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. If they become dirty, a light brushing is usually sufficient; avoid using water unless absolutely necessary, and ensure they are dried thoroughly afterwards.
