Have been using Rapid heavy duty staplers for about fifteen years, they have two guide marks on the front to help you hit the holes in the beads(I know that's not really the reason they are there). Before these I used to use Arrow staplers but find the Rapid ones last better.

 

[King_skim]

ye i kno mate, i kno they hav guiders,
buts its a pain in the a*se when ya workin at speed n ya need 2 precisley place the stapler on the bead where the guiders r to hit the hole, im not sayin that they rubbish pal...by no means.....but id just rather stick my beads or nail em,
like i sed each to there own bud

 

[S a plastering]

king if you see the front of the stapler you can put two marks down the front with a marker pen an line them up with the holes in the bead works a treat

 

[S a plastering]

bkh i got that stapler nice an light int it

 

[bkh]

yeah its spot on only problem iv had is when i do reskims and beading over old beads they sometimes dont grip and just bend

 

[plasterjfe]

I use a rapesco because it is lighter on the trigger than some others and this is handy for bulk heads/soffits/defletion heads etc. B an Q do em and they take all kinds of staples. its a fast method but - Never use on areas that can be moist or damp in the air such as cellar or a bathroom as they do rust over time in these conditions and the rust bleeds through.

 

[King_skim]

oooo sounds splendid
;D

 

[chunkyboy]

am i really readin this thought id drunk 2 much some of u lot got some strange ways but if it works 4 u crack on

 

[King_skim]

what ya mean chunky?

 

[chunkyboy]

cant imagine staplin beads on just sounds strange not knockin it just weird soundin

 

[del]

why not just stick them with wot u r using, or use tacking nails for stud work ?

 

[FreeD]

I use a stapler from b&q think its called tacwise with 15mm galvanised brad nails. Dont need to line stapler up as the nails go straight through the bead and hold in place. Gripfill is another good method run a bead down inside of bead and whack it on job done.

We've been nailing beads with 40mm galv ringshanked nails for years except on solid corners when we dot and dab them. One of the companys we work for have had us back a couple of times for snagging as the beads are cracking around windows and doors on some jobs! We could'nt understand it as its never happened before. After much thought we agreed it might be the way the windows and doors have been fitted and are causing movement. Anybody had a similar problem or suggestion as to what may be causing this?

 

[spunkybum]

i reckon the only time they'll crack is when theyve been hit ...stapling beads are fine if its board and a square edge i put three staples down one side and the skim does the rest ......if youre struggling on reskims get the staples on and give them a tap with a hammer if this doesnt work stick em

 

[kebab king]

I have a Paslode gun , fixes straight through the bead into any surface .

 

[S a plastering]

and on reskims make sure you scrim up the webbing that will stop any cracking

i used to do this quite a bit if i had some spray adhesive.. its quick but you need to spray both surfaces, do the whole room/job then go back and stick em on when its dry.. expensive really though cos a can dont go far.. and theres always the chance of you spraying the mix bucket with evo stick!

do you have stainless nails with em? wont they rust otherwise?
