Screws or Nails for 4MM Plywood

[bkiley]

Hi,

I'm building the kanyak and picked up some very nice Okoume. The plans call for screws, but I was wondering if I could use stainless brads in my nailer. I'm going to epoxy it in place anyways, so i was looking for options.

Thoughts?

You are probably fine using the brads. But, I would use screws at the end of the bend. You don't want to turn your back and have it pop before the epoxy goes off.

Could you use Stainless Staples? You'd need an Air powered stapler. Just leave them in place.
