pin nails holding power (ref: to Norm as well)
You know how Norm is always shooting a "couple" nails in until the
glue sets up...? I am wondering how well those little teeny pin nails (ala Grex) work as pseudo clamps until the glue sets up when attaching part a to part b (say plywood pieces) w/glue. IOW, do the pins merely serve to hold the item in place and have virtually no clamping force (due to their size and lack of a head)? I have a piece that will form a 45 degree angle when attached to a 3/4" ply edge that won't have any real force acting on them (merely decorative) and I don't feel like going to the trouble of biscuits or dowels. Clamping is difficult due to the angle (though I could whip up a jig if needed, I suppose). So, I figure I'll just glue 'em up, and shoot some pins/nails "until the glue sets up". Anyway, is this enough, do y'all think, or should I at least use real clamps (w/a jig or such)? So many words for such a simple question.... Thanx Renata |
