Raptor Brads

I received a sample of raptor composite brads today. I spent a good hour trialing them in my brad gun. The suppliers have been adamant that they will only work properly in their guns, something that was at least in part bourne out by my tests.

Shooting into ply it works perfectly, really happy with the result. However when I tried to shoot them into ply and sapelle the result wasn't so good. In most cases they only penetrated between 3 and 5 mm

I have a few more experiments to try, but I think I will have to either not use them on the first layer, or buy their gun.

Waiting to find out what they cost.
