Strip: Porter Cable Upholstery Stapler *Pic*

This morning I pulled most of the staples out of my Guillemot deck. Throughout the stripping process, I used a Porter Cable upholstery stapler model US58T2 that I had bought for this project. The stapler cost about $89.00, and I am sure that I will find other uses for it besides the next boat.

The stapler shoots a 3/8" 22 gauge staple; the length that I used is 5/8". To control the shot depth, I made a depth gauge out of 1/16" brass stock from the hardware store. The stapler worked perfectly, and made the stripping process that much easier. The staples all pulled out easily, without breaking in half.

The photo shows the deck right after pulling the staples, with the 22 gauge staple on the right, and a 1/2 inch Arrow T50 staple on the left.
