Removing a Nail You Can Not Grip

Posted by Peter Brady on Fri 1st December 2006 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Construction,  Decor

We’ve all had rusty nails, or nails firmly embedded into timber. These can be very tricky to remove - so what do you do?

Option 1: Hammer the nail below the surface of the wood, then use a wood filler to level the indentation.

Option 2: Using a chisel or broad blade screw driver remove the surrounding timber until you are able to grip the nail head with pincers. Remove the nail and repair the indentation with wood filler.
