<p>If needed, a small dab of colored crayon, or the like, to match the surrounding area, can be added.</p>
<p>There are several different colored filler crayons, available on the market, that produce satisfactory results.</p>

I have used several brands of 23 g. pin nailers and finally purchased the best in my opinion at the last wood show. The Grex works great and I am having very good success with all my hardwood applications. The nailer is exspensive but absolutely well worth it. Most of my woodworking friends also purchased a Grex when they saw mine in action.

<p>Hello Fred,</p>
<p><br></br>I have had success at installing crown molding on cabinetry. The longer one will hold fine, but they do work best with glue. I have also used them on Brazillian Koa, so they'll work with exotic hardwoods</p>

Hi Fred - I wasn't trying to be a wise guy or anything. You're right of course, the right tool for the job is the key. I use my 18 guage bradder a lot. Woodworking though, it's way to fat for tacking down templates and much more than needed for sticking boxes together for glue to dry (quicker than clamps too). Just a case where less is more. <br></br><br></br><cite>Fred Abeles said:</cite>

<p>Shoots a little longer pin and has a nose guard. Porter Cable doesn't, at least mine didn't and none was listed as as an option. It will leave a bit of a dimple in softer woods and ply.</p>

<p>Fred - I don't know if you have ever seen a 23 guage pin. Makes an 18 guage look like a railroad spike. Perfect for tacking trim into place or sticking down templates. Usually don't even need to fill them, just a drop or two of water will raise the grain enough to bury the things.</p>

When I said grizzly does not have pin nailers I meant they don't have a grizzly brand headless pin nailer. Yes they sell other brands, but seem to be a bit overpriced with them. And as far as ridgid goes I wouldn't use them, they are more targeted for the hobby woodworker!

<p>I use the 23 Gauge 1 3/8" Headless Pinner from Ridgid, I have no problems at all pinning hardwoods like birch or maple. I use it with the Stanley Bostitch pancake compressor set at 95psi.</p>

I have to agree with everyone else that my Porter Cable pin nailer has been a great tool! I lucked out and got mine in a 4 gun set at Home Depot, but I have also seen pin nailers through Grizz too.
