Understanding Flaking Around Fastener Holes
It's common for some flaking to happen around the hole when fastening the bolt. This is a normal occurrence and is part of the design to ensure a secure fit. Here’s why it happens and how to handle it:
Why Flaking Occurs
- Tight Grip: The hole is intentionally slightly smaller than the bolt to ensure a tight grip. This tight fit provides structural integrity and stability to the assembled furniture.
- Material Properties: The materials used in the furniture, such as particleboard or MDF, can cause some surface flaking when a bolt is inserted.
Tips for Smooth Fastening
If you find the insertion of the bolt difficult, you can use a simple trick to make the process easier:
- Liquid Soap: Apply a few drops of liquid soap on the bolt threads or around the hole. This can facilitate smoother placement and reduce the resistance when screwing in the bolt.
Additional Tips
- Use Proper Tools: Ensure you are using the correct tools, such as the provided Allen wrench or a suitable screwdriver, to avoid damaging the bolt or the hole.
- Gentle Pressure: Apply gentle, even pressure when inserting the bolt to minimize flaking and ensure a snug fit.
