Troubles applying a mending plate?
One of my cross beams in my attic is starting to split. The ones that go at an angle from the floor up to the ceiling.
So i got some of those mending plates from home depot. The kind with just a bunch of teeth on one side.
But I am having a heck of a time trying to hammer it in.

Do you guys have some experience with these and the best way to put these on?
Every time I try to hammer it on, the beam keeps bending/bouncing/deflecting whatever... and the mending plate will go in a bit in one corner then pops out when i go to the next corner.
Am I missing something?
It keeps bending/bouncing/deflecting because it is no longer structurally sound. It needs to either be replaced or you need to reinforce it by nailing the same size piece of lumber onto it. Simply measure the existing beam and cut a piece to those measurements, then nail it into place. This will fix the immediate problem by transferring the load to the new beam. After you do this have a licensed home inspector or a licensed contractor come look at your roof to make sure there isn't a larger problem that caused the beam to split in the first place.
