Step 15First steps 4 - tips and tricks
When you get the hang of it, you can use the nailgun nose to press the fabric against the rafters and fire in one action.
Initially fix the quilt strips with a hammer and a few nails - just enough to get it in position. Then you can easily adjust if you need to.
Do not stint on light. You need to see what you are doing. Hire or buy a halogen lamp if you need to. The alternative may be a 25mm staple through your finger: which would you prefer?
I REPEAT:
Keep your hands away from the end of the nailgun. I mean really away. The staples don't come out where it looks as though they might. It really is a gun, and those staples come out ****** quick. I came as close as I ever want to to getting a staple through the finger: the passage of the staple burnt my finger as it passed - that's how close. And I was being careful. So you be doubly careful.
