I'm thinking of getting a staple gun to fix skim beads?? whats the drawbacks of using staples to tack skim beads? what staples to use? do some staple rust ? Galvanised staples ? Stainless staples,? Decent guns?? Thoughts please
 
Had a tacwise before was bang on but it's only good for light work not for everyday use, now using a dewalt one it's keep going so far, if it packs up will try the sharpshooter what marshy recommended

Only downside is you will always get a little punk pick up your stapler and start firing it like a gun, staples going all over the place. At that point just fight the urge to slice the little f**k**s throat with your skimming trowel.
 
Ive had Stanley, the big heavy duty arrow one, and the best of all the dewalt.
The dewalt doesn't need half the power to fire as the others, which is handy when over reaching which we all do

As for staples, any T50 will do, only used arrow and Stanley sharpshooter, just fine.

Wudnt use owt else but a staple gun..Stanley heavy duty 1 for me with Stanley staples which are cheap from amazon..buy big boxes at a time from amazon 10000 I think for a tenner or sumat
 
I put them into s&c and almost everything, on really hard backgrounds, the staple might be a bit more pronounced but a quick tap of the hammer to flatten them sorts it. Hate using clouts where it can chip off the plaster on other side

Used to be all or we cant do this and that because joiner/sparky wont be able to do this or that..now I'mike f**k it dot it or whatever not my problem..done a house last week walls were about 25mm out,leaned out at the top so joiner puts his window bottoms on and there's 25-30mm on the bullnose of the window bottom so by time uve dotted ur board plum and got ur bead on with skimming uve got hardly owt left on ur window bottom..do I care!? Do I balls not anymore..same with sockets on walls with door casings not being chased in so the socket face is 10mm in front of the door casing! Knowbody cares about how we wil get around it
