In Response To: Strip: Staples - Stapler - One more time for the Newbie (danperry)

: I did a search on staplers and staples, seems to be revisited often
: and a wide range of what to use. I have access to an electric
: Arrow stapler for free so hoping that will work in 4mm x 7/8ths
: Atlantic White Cedar

: -Pneumatic, electric, or manual

: -1/2" crown or 1/8th

: -preferred length - 5/8ths sounds like a winner

Most electric staplers don't have enough power to drive the staples all the way, royal pain to have to try to hammer them in all the way to get the strips to hold.

The Arrow T50 is the one most everyone uses, I think I've got 4 of them, nice when you're doing kayak building classes as well as building at home :)

They can be easily disassembled for boiling off the glue that you'll get into them, eventually.
