    Would need to be very thin and if you look at how the nail punches through the plastic it is not going to slip easily.
    Give it a try. The side bars are actually quite hard to pull off.

    Was looking at these with interest last evening, ring shank nails (same price as smooth but not as popular) would increase the grip even more in case of heavy propolising

    So, after two months of use, did the nails hold? The plastic frames in my experience rarely get brace comb but if the correx variants are not engineered to the same specification (how dare I suggest that!) maybe it could be a issue.

    Yep. The frames work 100%.
