Make sure you Test the holding power of Senco brads. I've used 18 ga. small head senco's into 1/2" ply forms and broke the heads off several trying to get them out. With the end of the brad now flush with the strip surface, removing them without damage to the surface is very hard. For holding power they are hard to beat. Jer
