Brass Canoe Tacks

Brass tacks Oval head tacks work best for planking because the heads can be readily driven below the surface of the wood. The 5/16" flat head tacks are used to fasten the canvas to the face of the stems. 3 oz. are enough for one canoe.

11/16" tacks approximately 1,000 per lb.

  • For majority of canoes, use 11/16" tacks.
  • For heavily-built craft such as square sterns, use 7/8" tacks.
  • For lightweight canoes with 1/4" ribs and 1/8" planking or scale model canoes, use 1/2" tacks.

All oval head canoe tacks $30.00 per lb.
  $20.00 per 1/2 lb.
  $4.50 per oz.

Copper Canoe Tacks
These 11/16” flat head tacks are recommended for the restoration of older copper fastened canoes and for canoes that will be used in salt-water. Salt-water will corrode brass fastenings
