I am thinking about buying a Bostitch RN46-1 coil roofing gun with the vinyl siding adapter. Does anyone have any suggestions good or bad about using an air nailer to put up vinyl siding? What recommendations for settings, air pressure and nailing height setting of the gun. I will be using 1 1/2 roofing nail coils. Any suggestions or precautions greatly appreciated.
Save your money, save your warrenty, and save your vinyl siding. Do not use any type of air gun to nail on your vinyl siding. No matter what gimmicks are attached to it. All they want to do is sell you one. In fact the instructions with your vinyl siding say hand nail only. Why do they say this ?
Because you never never nail on vinyl siding. You HANG vinyl siding. You do not hammer the nails in all the way. You leave the heads out a little, and also you put the nail in the middle of the slot. This allows the vinyl siding to expand and contract with the temperature outside. Sorry my friend, but that is how it is.
