Stapler

[atomgallery]

I am trying to find what sort of staple gun fires staples at an angle through the backboard into the moulding to help keep the frame rigid when the budget does not extend to a sub frame. I have a suspicion they might all need an air compressor but at the moment I dont even know what one is called!

Its usually done with one of these guns -

You can fire these narrow crown staples in by holding the gun 1/2" back and at a slight angle to the moulding -

You do need a compressor, but not a particularly big one.

thanks for that, we are not doing volume at all so I think I will stick with doing it with carefully placed screws, havent got the room for a compressor of any size anyway.
