: I was looking at my 23 gauge micro pinner tonight and wondered if
: it would be useful in "stapleless" stripping? Instead
: of having to clamp and wait could you blow a pin into the row
: below and move on as quick as with staples? Could you even toe
: nail into the forms if needed and then clip it off and sand it
: when doing the inside?? Just thinking out loud I have yet to go
: stapleless. Any down sides you can think of?? Travis

Hi Travis, I gave this some thought a while ago but never followed through, some thoughts on it are -hole is small enough to disapear after wetting the wood down,-if using a pneumatic pinner you can back off the pressure to keep the pins just proud. the down side is the head on a 23 gauge pin is mighty small
and might not hold the strip in place, if you try this please let us know the results good luck Nick R.
