What are some good staples for upholstery?

The type of staple that should be used for upholstery depends on the project. The standard variety is .22 gauge, though a gauge as low as .18 works on most projects. A narrow crown on the staples can be a good way to fit them into tighter spaces.

Thinner staples are typically easier to work with. In addition to selecting the right staples, hobbyists should choose an appropriate staple gun for the project. Most staple guns are divided into three categories: pneumatic, handheld and electric. The pneumatic staple gun is the most versatile and powerful option for all types of projects, according to Vintage Storehouse.
