bostich button cap stapler. Buy one. purple fingers wouldn't have it any other wat.
Thanks for the tip...
Yes and at least some house manafacturers prefer the use of button caps - they can be hand nailed fairly easily, although those button cap staplers are the ticket.
Let me ask you a Q though... By applying house wrap over foam, could you be be creating a moisture trap? No specific expierence - just a thought...
To my knowlege there will not be a double moisture barrier. The rigid foam board breathes.
>> The rigid foam board breathes. << I think the perm rating depends in weather it is eps, xps or polyiso but generally perm ratings range from 1 to 2 saying that it breaths a little. Again, I'm not throwing a red flag here - but inquiring minds want to know...
