Questions and Answers for Grip-Rite #16-1/2 x 1-5/8 in. White Steel Panel Board Nails (192 per Pack)

A:  With what's likely 3/8" ply and the depth of the planking, it should be just enough to barely go past the drywall and into anything behind it. I don't know if you're trying to hit a stud, at which point you may want something a little longer. I used them for some trim in my bathroom and they worked well and have a slightly broader head on them so all of the leftovers worked well for hanging pictures & tin tackers

A:  100

A:  There are 334 nails in 6 oz package.

A:  these nails are for moulding as much as the panel board. i would however use smaller finish nails on smaller mouldings though.

A:  Yes, but since you will only make it 5/8 into the wall, I would dot the mounding with liquid nails first for a little reinforcement.

A:  200

A:  16.5 gauge

A:  16.5 gauge

A:  no

A:  No, this product is not recommended for use with plastered surfaces.

A:  Panel Board nails should be attached into wood furring or studs. They could potentially pull loose from plaster. Thank you for your question.

A:  If you are asking if it will work for installing plaster, I would say no. You need drywall screws for that.

A:  slightly big

A:  Use a standard hammer to get the nail 95% in. Then buy a nail driver (looks like a screwdriver) for the last 5%.

A:  yes

A:  Hello Brit, These are very small nails and are not very load barring. I would suggest anchor for holding the candle holders and such. Thank you for your inquiry. Charlotte of the Home Depot Community.

A:  yes but kind of a small head for that sort of thing

A:  You could use these panel board nails for this application. However, we would recommend the following nails higher for your crown moulding application; http://www.homedepot.com/p/Grip-Rite-15-1-2-x-1-1-4-in-3-Penny-Bright-Steel-Nails-1-lb-Pack-3F1/100186161 Thank you for your question and have a great day!

A:  If they do, they bend so easily, I'd really reconsider. Even if you need to go through layers of drywall, I'd stick with the minimum length you can get away with. I swear these things are made from aluminum, or some terrible pot metal - it's about as fun as trying to nail staples. This length left me swearing and with about 50% waste - the very thought of a 2" length might give me nightmares tonight.

A:  No, the 1 5/8'' is the longest size this nail is available in.
