Also question is, how do I know my nail size?Hold the measuring tape or ruler horizontally across the widest point of your natural nail. Make sure you use the millimeter side, and not the inches side. If you’re in between lines, round up to the next line. If you have flatter nail beds, add 1mm/1.0cm to your measurements(for very flat nail beds add 2!)Additionally, what is an 8 penny nail? The “d” stands for penny, so 8d refers to an 8-penny nail, 16d to a 16-penny nail and so on. It’s a way to indicate nail length, as you can see in the table below. Just so, what are the different sizes of nails? Here are common nail sizes and their corresponding length. 2d – 1-inch. 3d – 1-1/4-inches. 4d – 1-1/2-inches. 5d – 1-3/4-inches. 6d – 2-inches. 8d – 2-1/2-inches. 10d – 3-inches. 12d – 3-1/4-inches.

They do not have a nail head, so they leave a very small hole in the wood and therefore do not typically require putty.
