Suki 6151102 Blued Tacks 1.6 x 16 mm, 70g

The Suki 1.6 x 16 mm blued tacks are professional-grade fasteners engineered for precision upholstery, decorative detailing, and light-duty assembly applications. These tacks feature a distinct blued finish that provides a classic, understated appearance while offering a foundational layer of protection against corrosion. With a diameter of 1.6 mm, these fasteners are designed to penetrate materials cleanly, ensuring a secure hold for fabrics, leather, and thin wood panels in various indoor environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of these blued tacks lies in their specialized design which balances aesthetic appeal with functional reliability. The blued coating serves as a subtle decorative element, making them an excellent choice for visible applications where a polished or industrial look is desired. Their structural integrity ensures that they remain firmly in place once installed, providing long-lasting stability for upholstery projects or craft work. Furthermore, the compact 70g packaging is convenient for both professional workshops and home hobbyists, offering an optimal quantity for small to medium-sized repair or restoration tasks.

Suitable for

• Upholstery repair and furniture restoration
• Attaching fabric to wooden frames
• Decorative craft projects and DIY home decor
• Light assembly of thin wooden materials

These tacks may not be suitable for heavy-duty structural construction or outdoor applications exposed to harsh weather conditions. Because the blued finish provides only basic corrosion resistance, they are intended primarily for indoor use and should not be used in high-moisture environments where rust could compromise the material integrity.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 1.6 mm
• Length: 16 mm
• Finish: Blued
• Package weight: 70g

To use these tacks effectively, position the material firmly against the target surface. Using a lightweight upholstery hammer or a tack hammer, tap the head of the tack gently but firmly until it is flush with the surface of the material. Ensure that the tack is driven in straight to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the underlying wood. For delicate fabrics, consider using a protective layer or a specialized tool to prevent surface damage during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your material to ensure the 16 mm length is appropriate.
• Confirm that the indoor environment is dry to prevent potential oxidation.
• Ensure you have a suitable hammer for small-headed fasteners.

For the best results, always test the tack on a scrap piece of material first to ensure the length is sufficient for your specific application and that the finish complements your project aesthetic.
