Balsam Point Workshop 30-Pack - Heavy Duty Figure 8 Table Top Connector or Desk Top Fastener Clip - Thick 12 Gauge Steel

12-Gauge Steel Fastener Easily And Securely Connects Table Tops Or Desk Tops To Their Apron. Using A 11/16 (Or 5/8 Will Work In A Pinch) Spade Or Forstner Bit, Simply Bore A Shallow Hole In The Rail Or Apron Of Your Project, So The Fastener Top Sits Flush With The Top Of Rail. Attach The Fastener With A #6 Screw Into The Apron, Then Secure The Wooden Top Surface With Another #6 Screw. Simple Chisel Work Near The Shallow Boring May Be Necessary To Ensure A Proper Bedding And Free Lateral Movement Of The Fastener. Fasteners Are Countersunk On Opposite Sides To Keep Screw Heads Flush. ItS Important To Secure Screws To A Snug Fit, But Do Not Over Tighten To Allow For Seasonal Wood Movement. Screws Are Not Included; Depending On Your Project, Wood Stock Thicknesses Will Vary, So Its Imperative To Select A Screw Length That Will Adequately Suit Your Individual Needs. As With Any Form Of Adhering A Table Or Desk Top To A Rail Or Apron, Its Important To Always Lift The Project By The Rails And Not The Top Surface.
