Hi all,
I am now having a BIG PROBLEM with the nails! They are going in to the boards nicely but are spiting the joists. Not sure it it is safe to continue as I don't want to weaken the whole floor.
Should I pilot hole? I already tried with a 3mm bit and it still split. Perhaps I should...

Interesting. The more I think about it, the more I think the 65mm floor brads will be enough. Minimum 25mm penetration into the joists. I have also seen people glue and nail. So, what if I do 65mm brads and tight bond?
