Large project to clad ... using Red Pine Thermowood (being delivered next week)
Rather than fix it with hammer & nail, it would be much better to pneumatic nail ...
I have a 16g brad nailer .... is this suitable for the job ? ......... the shiplap pattern means that nails will be going through only 10mm thick Thermowood, into a 50x50 softwood batten.
Just wondering if 32mm Stainless brads would be strong enough.
The alternative would be to use a 10mm wide x 32mm long staple ... I have the gun, but can't find a source of stainless staples unless I want to buy a 50,000 box at more than £150 (only need 4000)
