Hi,

I picked up some samples at the Mystic, CT boat show a few years ago... the mfg. of Raptor is Utility Composites, Austin TX 1-800-460-6933.
The website is: whoops, I lost it ... just type Utility Cmposites, Inc. into Google and it'll show up.

I haven't used the staples or finish nails. The advantage appears to be that you can sand down the nails and staples when finishing, so no staple holes to fill.

I'd like to buy some brads or finish nails, but I have no idea of the cost, nor the quantities in which they are sold. Guess I'll have to contact the company some day. They come in some colors besides tan.

If you follow-up with a purchase and actual use, please post the info... I'm very interested, but don't have any active projects at the moment.

Thanks,
John
