Abstract
A continuous nail pack made of ultra-high strength plastic composite materials, for example, thermoplastic or thermoset materials for use in standard nailing machines. The individual nails have sufficient compressive strength and a flexural modulus such that the nail may be used for nailing into commodity woods for construction, furniture making, or for building boats. Further, this nail pack is non-corrodible and provides plastic nails having a length/diameter ratio of a working nail heretofore unavailable.
