Hello,

We will soon be laying 80x19 grey ironbark flooring down onto joists. I'll be secret nailing it to the joists. I am looking to buy a Boss brand gun from Sydney Tools, and I''m wondering if anyone knows if this gun is a decent one? With grey iron bark being so hard, has anyone had trouble using a secret nail gun on this timber? And are nails or staples best?

Also, is secret nailing enough for 80mm boards? I understand the wider boards like 130mm also require some top nailing. Appreciate people's thoughts on this. Thanks so much! And sorry for the 20 questions.

Cheers,
Dan
