DETERMINING PROPER STAPLE OR NAIL LENGTH
In choosing the proper staple or nail length for the job there are two basic things to
consider:
1.
Thickness of the material to be stapled
2.
Hardness of the wood
As a general rule, in hardwood, approximate 3/16” to 1/4” penetration into the wood is
sufficient and for soft wood up to approximately 3/8” should be sufficient. However, if
the staple used “stands away” from the work - this means that the staple or nail is too
long. In that case we recommend the next shorter length for desired results.

cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastic and other insulated parts. Do not
