Is this something to be greatly concerned about? Or maybe the overall impact is negligible? Thanks. The surface area of each nail head and impact (Conductance & Transfer) is negligible wood is a poor conductor or energy there is no need to prove this with science, math & FEM illustration/simulation OT, Here is a simulation example for "Shaded & Unshaded Esky with drinks which is used to predict beer temperature in an esky at the beach...
