I had a stack of nails left over from my loft conversaion in my old house, thought might as well use them and understand now why screws are better!

each to their own matey, i just like whacking things

when i dab my reveals when doing gypsum work i make sure its a solid line of dab so i can clout some good 40mm galvo's in. I suppose i worry if someone knocks a bead, the whole thing would come off

dont get me wrong, i was tought to put beads on withmulti (full bed ) and use clout nails for putting board up, but the first time i see someone use staples i thought thats the way to go its the fastest way if your doing large areas, i use 10mm staples and the gun punches them in perfect , its also accurate i would feel a bit lost actually if i dident have the staple gun, i have even seen another spread hold the beads on with scrim, heres some of the beading up i done last month lots of beams and rsjs View media item 31912 View media item 31875 View media item 32211 it became a bit monotonous

i use the staple gun aswell but only on board work and only if its running true, i do alot of reskims and used to clout beads up but got fed up with them blowing out i find my self bedding beads on more and more now and find it really quick then its jst waiting for it to pull in a bit before i skim it, but i agree with both points of view i do sometimes think if someone hits it then thats it but on new board and arches staples are the quickest way of doin things spesh when your backs against the wall and you havent got time to be titting around doin it other ways,but as has been said each to thier own guys, steve hows the house comeing along mate?

 

[stevethespreader]

just to add when your up on stilts all you need is the gun and snips in your hand rather than snips hammer and tacks lol

steve hows the house comeing along mate?
