Want to wrap the edge of a pine desktop in leather. since it's the edge of the desk, I need a low profile nail/tack. Are these up to the job?

If you are using a 3 or 4 ounce leather, they will stick out a little. If you are using 6 to 8 oz. vegetable tan, they will seat down into the leather a little and that would be a good thing. Either way, I think you would be safe. They look good with a medium brown dyed leather.

I'm not sure what you consider low profile, but these tacks will probably work just fine for your project. The nail head is a scant 1/4 inch. Hope that helps!

I used regular nails when I used them for hanging really light things, like aprons. Now, I use drywall screws and they hold up well for heavier things, like jewelry or towels.

It should work well on leather. The edges are very sharp, so make sure you have a soft backing plate. Plywood tends to dull them, so I'd go with some pine or something like that.

Although I'm sure you could use this product, there are plenty of really good leather treatment products. I've cared for riding tack for many years and have used several things made for that purpose. The leather lasts for generations is cared for properly. I would not use this product over things made specifically for leather care. It is mostly solid at room temperature and a bit sticky when warmed.

No need to overlap if over a wood subfloor; butt edges together. I only stapled corners down and then used making tape along long sides; I didn't want staples getting in the way of the nailer. Don't lay out all the paper all at once because it's a petroleum product, you don't to walk on it too much. Lay out one row at a time as needed.

If you have tongue and groove hardwood, I would use a special too that puts the nail in in the wood at an angle over the tongue. If you use as face nailer the head of the nail will show. Face nailing will not make the tongue and groove tight as intended. If it is not tongue and groove wood it would face nail ok but to countersink nails and putty so they wouldn't show may be a trick. I hope that helps!

I can not answer i am sorry i suggest you call 3m snd sk them for exact measurements i do think it is for wood desks not metal but if you get a metal bit for a drill if the holes do not line up and possable a few washers it should be ok if not then an edge clamp shelf may be the answer.

This is a GREAT finish nailer; I would not use this to nail 3/4" stock (1x4-1x6 lumber). It is good for a decorative lattice at the top;). 1x4 or 1x6, or even 1x8 will 'cup' as they say, therfore due to cupping you need a nail/screw with a large 'head' ( 6 penny common galvanized at least). You could use this Wen to 'tack' your pieces (and then use larger nails or screws later). ;)

Make sure and use Bostitch brand nails with it, and it works great. Adjustable nail depth is very consistent.

Hi....it depends on the thickness of the wood...you can use staples or nails - the staples are regular, and the nails are small around 15mm -(0,59 inches) I use frequently this electric staple - I'm very satisfied !

I ended up sending mine back because it didn't work in the space I was going to use them. I think using little tack nails would work and hang them by the little circles in the back.

No, at least not on the soft pine door I used it on. Actually, if I used it on top of a "varnish" and polished it well it might be glossy. Think more of a well worn wonderful winsome quality leather gloves. I have only used it on bare antique pine. Good luck.

The "nailing" part is thin metal. The design works great for wood legs, but it won't work for metal barstool

I would recommend a 1x2 wood that you can construction adhesive to the bottom of your desk and then screw the sides into it.

Concur. It is like a big hollow nail. Worked fine for me with my brand new chairs from Restoration Hardware!

I don't have experience with finishing or framing nails, but this nail gun handles only nails with slim tops. Thus, it would be unlikely to hold a board in place against forces trying to dislodge it. This Dewalt gun might work if the only requirement is to position a board without regard to holding it in place.
