How all.
I'm glad to be a new meber of that forum.
I would some help to succeed in making the staples not to enter strait in the foam but I would like the branches to open aside.
I'm using SENCO LNS3215E stapler feeded with 16mm Senco MP08 staples.
See the pictures below:

Any help will be much appreciated.
Yhanks in advance to all.

Thanks a lot! Got cheapest Arrow brand one ordered from eBay. Uses T50 staples which I got already. Will see how it works. I have only one project to complete, not ready to spend lot's of money and buy specialized staples.

@rob_fer
@IvanD
Thank you! I didn't know I even needed one until you two asked the question but I can see where that style of stapling can come in very handy.

Guys don't get this stapler. It doesn't work like supposed. I can't get it staple through leather into foam. It just goes between leather and foam. Waste of money.

I had no Idea about a staple gun like that. Thanks @Bondo497
I hope you guys are able to get it to work for your application.

@John I had no idea either. @IvanD bought the Arrow brand, I'm interested to see if @rob_fer bought the Bostitch brand and if so did he have different results or the same?

Hi everybody,
As promissed, i'm posting the test results.
I finally got my BOSTITCH T6-80C2 (take note that PC8000/T6 looks very similar but staples straight, so for that kind of job do not use PC8000):

Some of you complain that such a staple guns doesn't work at all .
I think you were not using it propely. or Maybe the product was poor quality.
I had some test and works perfectly:

But you have to take care to be in a flat contact, I mean not pressing with a corner, and you have to ensure the you are strongly compressing the foam during staple shot.
If the foam is not strongly compressed the staple opens before entering the foam and it is like you have done nothing.

@rob_fer yes, this is what I felt like. Need to compress and it will do better. I was afraid to punch through the face though. I guess I will try and see what happens. In my case its 2 inch foam and seat heater infront.

@ IvanD
same than mine "...2 inch foam and seat heater in front...."
Don't worry it won't go through the whole foam.
