Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What are panel pins used for?
Panel pins are small, fine nails used for light-duty wood fixing tasks, especially where a discreet appearance is important. They’re commonly used in joinery, decorative trim, and cabinetry.
Q2: Are these panel pins rust-resistant?
No. These pins have a bright steel finish, which means they are not galvanised or coated for corrosion resistance. They are best suited for indoor use only, away from moisture or humid environments.
Q3: Can these be used in hardwood?
Yes, they can be used in both softwoods and hardwoods, although you may need to pre-drill a pilot hole in very dense timber to prevent bending or splitting.
Q4: How many pins are in each 125g pack?
The number of pins varies depending on the length and thickness of the pin. Shorter pins like the 19mm size will include more nails per pack than longer ones like the 38mm.
Q5: Are panel pins the same as nails?
Panel pins are a type of nail, but they are much finer and have a smaller head. They are used for more delicate work where regular nails would be too large or likely to damage the material.
Q6: Can I use a nail gun to install these?
Panel pins are typically hammered in manually, especially due to their small size and the precision required. However, some light-duty pin nailers may support similar gauge nails—check your nailer’s specifications.
Q7: What’s the best way to avoid splitting the wood when using panel pins?
To avoid splitting:
Use a pin pusher or a fine hammer
Pre-drill pilot holes in harder wood types
Avoid nailing too close to the edge of the timber
Q8: Are these suitable for structural or load-bearing tasks?
No. Panel pins are not designed for structural use. They are meant for aesthetic and lightweight fixings only. For structural work, consider using screws or heavy-duty nails.
