    Default Which Size Gun Nails?

    G'day All

    I am in the process of restoring two double hung sash windows and I bought my self a Senco Pro Finish35 nail gun. The query I have is what size nails to use for the architraves and the beading?

    TIA

    Thanks for that but I already bought the Senco gun so I am looking for rough idea of the size nails to use for it.

    Cheers

    Length of nail = thickness of architrave + wall sheeting + about 20mm.
    So for instance, 12mm archs + 10mm plasterboard + 20mm = 42mm. You could go 45 or 50mm.
