thanks.

16 gauge is a little small (~,062" dia) but 15 gauge is only .072

If your nailer shoots 2 1/2" brads you'll probably be ok... 2" is a
little short.

Use SS brads, the only way to go.
Unfortuantely a box of 5,000 is about $50 or more plus shipping. And
the bummer is you only need a few.

here's where I get mine http://www.stainless-nails-brads-staples.com
