Guys
I am re-upolstering a small plastic seat for my motorcycle. This is done with a staple gun at the factory and is recommended in the same technique for any new seat covers. So... I bought a decent Stanley electric staple gun because it uses a shallow T50 1/4" Arrow brand staples. One of the pneumatic guns I borrowed from a friend has a min staple length of 1/2" which might come right through the plastic seat base poking staples in my arse.
Here is my problem.. the seat base is made of plastic and the staple gun (or staples) will not penetrate plastic and it keeps smashing (bending) the staples. The staple gun has two settings (hard and softer) and it is on the max setting. Are the staples too soft or the staple gun not strong enough? Where can I get a gun that takes shallow staples but can complete this silly little job?
Any advice from you guys is appreciated.
