Question maybe for the WC restorers here:
How do you select a length for Clinch nails? I've been looking into them for a project, and can't get a straight answer. Several sources agree that a nail that is too long is almost as bad as one that is too short. What I can't tell is how to define "Too Much." Is it a percentage of the material thickness? Dependent on the gauge of the nail? Fairly close to a constant?
If it matters, I'm probably looking at mild steel, rather than copper.
