  2. I wonder if that's the same as the ones supplied by C&C?

    Unsure as their description of the product is non existent ? I have a electric staple gun if anyone needs to borrow it to do their roof .As long as the pay the postage both ways I am happy to lend it out .I did buy an expensive handheld one that was not powerful enough to go through the canvas and the plastic beading but this electric one is perfect for the job .Also have stainless staples that people can use .

  4. @Milky, two questions, please.

    Did the plastic strip come as part of the kit?

    How much is postage for the gun, do you think? Or, you you going to TE?

    The front hinged WW canvas is still showing out of stock at Schofield's, I may have to look elsewhere for a canvas, perhaps if JK do this German one for the front hinged then that might be a possible alternative:thinking:
     
  5. This is what I got back from C&C, JK has no stock....
    Mildly helpful, I guess :confused:

    Hi, Postage I guess would be a fiver-ish , Phone Jk as it did show on the website they had sold out when I looked but when I phoned they had 4 in stock last week.Did not come with the strip so I also brought this from JK.I do have 10ft surplus i anyone would like that .Sorry not going TE.Last of all mine was the German made Gunzl one .
     
  7. Thanks :hattip:
     
  8. @Milky my canvas has arrived, but I need to source a tack strip. Where did you say you hot yours from? Thanks.


    Edit, sorry I reread the thread, I think the answer is JK.

    You can get them from fleabay and other suppliers I just got mine from JK because it was convenient .
     
  13. I took the hit and bought the WW one, mostly coz that came into stock first, I did get a bit of a discount and free delivery :)
     
  14. Those are NLA one's, I am never certain about his stuff :thinking:


    Most suppliers seem to sell strips costing about £30, NLA's are cheaper, but what's the difference I wonder, apart from a tenner?

    Made in China maybe ?

    More than likely being as the owner of NLA is Chinese and has family run plastic extrusion and moulding companies in China AFAIK ...:D
