BOX NAILDescription: This is a very thin nail that comes rosin-coated. Buying information: Use where a common nail might split the wood. Very good for wood flooring and subflooring, these work particularly well for securing oak and pine. How-to hints: Box nails, which are thinner than common nails, bend more easily, so take particular care to drive them in straight. As the nail is driven into the wood, the rosin heats up; when it cools it grips tenaciously, an important consideration when fastening wood flooring or plywood. |
