Properly wrapping a piece of stock prior to the bend is crucial to gaining maximum leverage. A good wrap will involve:
Using plenty of chalk between the stock and the wrapping material. This assists in getting the wrap as tight as possible.
Leaving a slight gap between the two bending wraps on the stock. This eliminates the need to fight the wrap while bending the nail.
Securing the wrap as tightly as possible around the stock, preventing slipping during the bend. Some will even wrap one side of the nail at a time, using rubber bands to hold the wrap in place.
