Upholstery Nails Keep Bending

RE: Upholstery Nails Keep Bending By lindasue41 (4) Contact I am using a tack hammer but maybe your right my material may be to thick Thanks everybody for your responses Posted on 12/13/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Upholstery Nails Keep Bending By PICO (469) Contact The wood under the material is probably very hard wood. Try using a very small drill bit and predrill the holes, then hammer the tacks in. Good Luck Posted on 12/13/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Upholstery Nails Keep Bending By melody_yesterday (637) Profile Blog! Contact i had some that did that when i reupholstered a chair & sorry to say,they came from Kmart. What I think that should have been done at the time is- take them back & show them to them! I wish I had had the time to do that then but I didn't & it's a long way across town !Maybe give them a call & tell them or if you have needle nose pliers or other pliers try holding the tack with them on the stem of the tack & hitting it with a hammer.I hope you have a reciept & the little box JUST IN CASE THEY SAY THEY WILL REFUND THE PRICE !Who knows? Maybe they will give you a new box!?! good luck ! Posted on 12/13/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Upholstery Nails Keep Bending By Toni (Guest Post) Are you using an upholstery hammer? They work the best. Maybe your material is too thick. Posted on 12/13/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
