Hi all I used to use a Tacwise 191el nail gun for nailing beading when doing laminate flooring which lasted 3 years. So when I replaced it I bought the Tacwise Duo 50 thinking I could use it for beading and maybe Architraves. Anyway it broke after 6 months and I found it too powerful for...

I also have to fit some French doors in the same property. So with that I will need the 20mm thick door casing not to dip. If I have room above I will fix eg a 4"x2" first by drilling into the RSJ. This will give me a nice gap to put some architraves on. So say I fix the 4"x2" with some 4" no 8...
