V Nails

V nails are V shaped steel pieces that join mitred frame moulding corners together. Before using v nails apply a small amount of wood bond adhesive to the end of each mitred moulding length, this helps strengthen the corner join. Slide two lengths of moulding onto the underpinner and fire V Nails to join the corners. Take care to ensure the V Nails are the correct size for the moulding, if they are too long the may break the surface of the moulding and protrude out of the moulding face.

What are V Nails used for?

V Nails are common place in the picture framing industry to join and hold the mitred corners of a picture frame together. Apply a small amount of wood glue before joining for a permanent, tight bond. V nails have a sharp edge and a dull edge. A manual or pneumatic underpinner is used to push the V nail into a frame corner. They can be stacked one on top of the other when joining taller mouldings. V nails come in two varieties, hardwood and softwood, depending on the type of wood that needs to be joined.
