Looks good.
I have a pneumatic staple gun and 5/32 staples. Works like a charm. Only had to glue the top. If you want to borrow it let me know. Dont forget to clean the top metal piece before you reglue. And dont use to much glue it starts to eat the material. Thats the mistake I made the first time. |
