ss staples

[HB]

I am looking for a supplier of stainless steel staples for my bostitch T31-2SBNK air stapler which uses 21G 1/2" crown staples for doing origional canvas stretching. Anyone know of a supplier. I looked everywhere.

Larson Juhl has staples but will not fit my gun nor does anyone there know if they are stainless or not.


Thanks in advance

Contact a marine supply company in your area. Marine upholstry is stapled with stainless steel staples of done properly.

Jerome has an excellent idea. Being an avid wooden boat freak--or masochist--I've used a variety of these staples. Altho honestly the type I've used I can't imaging using in a frame shop. But mine haven't been for the upholstery.

Forgot to mention: if you can't find them, pick up any issue of Wooden Boat available at any decent bookstore. Plenty of hardware suppliers in there

I purchased a Duo Fast stapler that handles stainless steel staples. Hunt down a supplier in your area on the internet. I use 1/4" 5008-D SS staples and have been happy with both the stapler and the staples.

You might also try a "Fastener" store instead of a hardware store; they will probably have several ideas and alternatives. It is difficult to find stainless steel staples for a regular "Arrow" type staple gun.

Lots of luck
