Stapling question
I have a DeWalt air powered stapler. Not a very big one, I'd have to go out
in the shop and get the number, but I would estimate the staples to be about 1/4" wide, maybe a little less if they are rated on a ga. system. They are crown. Can I use flat staples in it? Those that have a top made of right angles? I need to staple some fabric to the plywood of a boat seat, and want it to be flat without having to pound them in, and perhaps have them tear more of a hole in the fabric than they already do. I do have a couple of Arrow staplers if I need to go to those, and they have the right angle staples, but air is so much easier. Can I get the other shape of staples in the same size, and will they work in it? Do they make the two shapes? Steve |
