So.... I left my staple gun out i
n the rain ages ago. It rusted shut and the simplest solution was to pick up another for a few dollars at a garage sale (a Bostitch). But when I needed it to cover a chair, I ran out of staples. So a new pack of staples would be about $13 and a trip to the shops. Instead of waiting, I had a go at unrusting the old yellow. Penetrating oil sprayed in all over got it freed up. But when the staple gun fired, it did not load another staple. There was
enough rust in there to stop the sprin
g from advancing the next staple. So....I had to take it apart, and sand the ru
st off the channels. Now it works like a charm!
