What are V Nails used for?

V Nails are common place in the picture framing industry to join and hold the mitred corners of a picture frame together. Apply a small amount of wood glue before joining for a permanent, tight bond. V nails have a sharp edge and a dull edge. A manual or pneumatic underpinner is used to push the V nail into a frame corner. They can be stacked one on top of the other when joining taller mouldings. V nails come in two varieties, hardwood and softwood, depending on the type of wood that needs to be joined.
