Product Details
Copper Cut Tacks are a favorite fastener used by boatbuilders, woodworkers, crafters, upholsterers and carpet installers. Also known as Flat Head Tacks, they feature a sharp point, tapered body and an angular cut shank to resist pull-out.
Longer length copper tacks are used as clench nails for wooden light craft, lap-strake boats and wood and canvas canoe construction.
Our Copper Tacks are now offered in lots of 25 for those installing oar leathers.

Awesome; hard-to-find!

These tacks are copper, not just copper coated. I stretch and prepare all my own canvasses for painting. I use high quality Belgian Linen and good wood stretchers, and it is important to me that the tacks are sturdy, beautiful, very functional. I like that I can get different lengths, and that this shipment came so quickly. Great service!

Real Copper Tacks

I always use copper tacks when constructing my canvases for painting. They don't rust, are easy to start when nailing, and they stay put until you remove them. But, like anything made from copper, they are pricey. Most art suppliers are selling copper coating nails which just work the same.

Q: Are these tacks considered a number 2 tack. My plans do not give a dimension, only size, and it calls for 1 pound No. 2 copper tacks.
3 years ago1 Answer
A: Apologies for the delay in answering this question. Our supplier does not list tacks by number just by size 3/8"" in this case. Looking at some other distributors who sell tacks by number, 3/8"" would be number 3 tacks.

Q: What size would you recommend for clench nailing 1/4"" cedar lapstrake planking?
4 years ago1 Answer
A: When using a cut tack and a rove, you will need to use a tack approximately three times the thickness of the planking. After fitting tack and rove, the end of the tack will need to be cut off before setting and peening. Practice with some scrap materials on a workbench, until you've figured out the correct cut off length and had a chance to practice. There is a description of the process on the website; https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=1921
