Bob helps Ryley build a redwood deck. Bob emphasizes the use of stainless steel nails when working with redwood due to the wood's acidity. Then, Danny Ruffini installs a custom-made redwood and cedar fence on the perimeter.
Give your molding or finish work a seamless, professional look. Here' s how: Be sure to use finish nails or smaller brads for this kind of work. Be careful not to "divet" the wood by hammering too much. Tap gently with a nail set to sink the nail heads below the surface of the wood, hide the holes with wood filler and sand when dry for a smooth finish, ready for paint or stain.
…prevent split wood, bent nails and damaged trim. Here… … If you are driving a brad, particularly into hard… …over the brad. Set the brad just under the surface… …punch directly over the brad and strike it with a hammer… …greater holding power than nails and can be easily removed…

Porter Cable makes a 18 gauge x 1" Brad Nail that fits the Swingline nail gun. I found them at Home Depot in the supplies section for their pneumatic tools.

I am about to replace all the base boards and chair rails in my house. I am not sure what type of nailer to use. Wouls a brad nailer work fine or should I use a finish nailer. I am not even sure what the differnce is. Thanks for any help.
I went to swingline.com they have since sold this product line to ACCO.com (ACCO Brands, Inc.). I called to get more info and was on phone for 50 minutes and finally had to hangup. I'll try again later, but also will post at forcemachinery.com as Jason suggested.
I am considering buying hardwood flooring (3/8 inch thick) that recommends using glue to install. Can I use 18 guage brads or is glue the only option? Having an air brad gun would make the job much easier (and less messy).
