How to Wrap
-
Properly wrapping a piece of stock prior to the bend is crucial to gaining maximum leverage. A good wrap will involve:
Wrapped for leverage.
- Using plenty of chalk between the stock and the wrapping material. This assists in getting the wrap as tight as possible.
- Leaving a slight gap between the two bending wraps on the stock. This eliminates the need to fight the wrap while bending the nail.
- Securing the wrap as tightly as possible around the stock, preventing slipping during the bend. Some will even wrap one side of the nail at a time, using rubber bands to hold the wrap in place.
