Hi all, tonight I finally started pounding in the Tornado nuts. Much to my dismay, they didn't go very smoothly at all. (These are for an adire Kit 281) They were extremely hard to pound in (I was very afraid I was going to 'break' the rabbet for the AV8s, I could see it flexing) Also, out of the 4 that I mounted, 2 got destroyed.
By destroyed, I mean the 3 outside teeth (that digs into the MDF) gets bent, instead of digging into the wood, so they don't hold at all.
Luckily, Adire supplied me with a couple extra, but at this rate, I'll need about twice the amount in order to get them all in!
(Also, the 2 that I did manage to get mounted, I can tell that a couple of the teeth bent, and really only one or two teeth stayed straight and managed to dig in)
Thanks for any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them.
