Default Fastening 1/4" underlayment


"Me" wrote in message ...
I need to put down some 1/4" underlayment in a small hallway before I
tile it. The present floor is too rough to tile the way it is. It's
only 2 sheets, so not a big deal. I know the installers use staples,
but I dont have the equipment, and just want to nail it. My question
is what kind of nail to use, and how close to put the nails. Or,
should I use some sort of adhesive along with nails?

I dont want to turn this into a complicated job, and renting the
stapler would require me driving 30 some miles, since I am in a rural
area. I should note the present floor is only one layer of 3/4"
particle board.
