How would I know if the staples are galvanized? I always thought they either make zinc or stainless steel. I always get Stainless Steel but I heard that you’re not supposed to use SS staples on pressure treated wood. If not PT wood then which wood would be good, just regular pine?
I would strongly suggest to you and the viewers of this video to NOT use this type of water based adhesive. Being in the commercial construction industry I have had to replace flooring that was glued with this adhesive that came up when the floor got wet. I have also experimented myself with this adhesive on my own boat. I carpet four of my boat lids. Two with this Roberts and Two with commercial contact cement. I then tried to remove the carpet while it was in a dry state. They were both hard to remove. I then put the other two lids in water and let them soak for 5 minutes. The Roberts glued carpet came completed off, the commercial contact cement stayed in tack.

What kind of wood would you suggest for new boards? Redwood, Douglas Fir, Pine or Pressure treated?

Galvanization is a zinc coating on steel. The packs of stainless say stainless on them and they are the way to go.
Great information 👍
