Pins go in easy certainly. Don't have much grabbing power though.

Would this really work? Seems like it would roll up on the edges as the skin dries.

I had signs in my yard leading up to the election. They are stiffer that you would guess.

I made stretchers to FHA's size charts, Small, med and large. Will probably use the med size most often though for average size rats.
