I also used a T50 with 9/16" Ceiltile staples. I found also that the ratchet straps worked extremely well, in some cases I had to use a windlace, which is a loop of rope with a twisting stick (protect the soft edges of the wood). This applied even pressure all around without the directional force that the ratchets introduced.
