In Response To: Tools: Length of staples (Simon)

Simon:
I switched from staples to wire brads about 1/3 into the build and I wished I had started with them. They held much better, left half as many holes, and, with a scrap of strip, provided ample leverage on wayward strips. I would go as small as you can, and about 1 1/2" long.

Regards,

Marcel
