Smooth Shank Copper Square Boat Nails With Rose Head 2" x 12g
Product Imformation:
Square copper nails are often combined with copper roves to create rivets. Copper rivets are an important component of traditionally-built boats as they are used to fasten the timber planks together and to internal frames. The square shaft of the copper nail is forced through the under-sized round hole of the rove, allowing the rove to grip the nail. The end of the copper nail is then snipped off to length and the excess copper is squashed (or peened) over the rove to create a lasting rivet that will be impervious to sea water and last for many years.
