: was just wondering what you think of using brads instead of staples. might
: take a little longer, but you have less holes to deal with and see. what
: do you think?

Dan, On my Guillimont I used an old Arrow "Wammer" that shoots 1" brads. It looks and works just like a staple gun but it gives you half the holes of staples and better holding power. I think its still make under a different name. I liked the results much better than staples with the same ease of use. For my next project I just bought a new toy to try. Accuset (Senco) has a new micro pinner that shoots 23 ga. brads. Were talking small here! My goal is to go "whole less"but there are times when, to speed up the process, you need to use something. Give Brads a try. Rich
