Powder actuated tools and humidity
Â* Grrr , I was just down in the cellar trying to shoot some 2x2's to
the block wall , and it just ain't happening . I'm using a Hilti gun , uses strip shot in ,27 caliber . 2.5" pins thru the wood and into the block . I'm wondering if being stored for a few months in the cellar when I was having moisture problems has affected the cartridges , when they were first bought they'd sink that pin partway into the wood . Now 3 shots in succession don't even set it flush . It makes no difference whether I'm shooting into the mortar joint or the block itself . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety . Get off my lawn ! |
