nail plugs or very thin yellow plugs?

[1Justin]

Has anyone got a source for "pin plugs"?

I find "Uni-fix nailing plugs" - but at nearly £8 per 100 on Ebay! That's barmy when cheapo yellow plugs (just a teeny bit too big for clip nails) are 39p in Screwfix.

I used to have a box of yellow ones which worked a treat, but no idea of the brand, and all the yellow ones I find now are sized for ~ 3.5mm screws.

Yes I know I can yank out the nails and use a screw, and yes that's just great, but sometimes there are quicker ways..

use the yellow ones and shove in a bit of a cocktail stick before clipping.
