When putting 45's in the corners how do you guys secure them? I tried using a nail gun and they didn't work. Screws don't really seem like a good idea either, is the glue enough?
If I tried to shoot it at an angle into the wood the nail deflected off, if I tried to go straight it just went all the way through the 45 due to it being thinner in that area. It is a pretty cheap nail gun, bostich from menards.nail gun and glue, never had a problem. Why didn't the nail gun work for you?
My Dad is missing an eye from getting hit with a chisel when working on a car.Turn the pressure down on the nail gun. Try shooting closer to the center of the 45 at just enough angle to go into the side walls, but not so much that it deflects and you lose an eye //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Brad nailer.are you using a brad nailer or a roofing nail gun???? Brad nailer with 1 1/4" nails is what I use...
I don't know why it never occurred to me to go from the inside out. dohIf you look close in that pic you will see where the staples are. 3 per side...I used a clamp to put them in place then staple them in.
