I assembled 130 deep frames last weekend and I need to install a nail below the top bar on each side. What size nail do you guys use for this? I used an air stapler for the other fasteners, but I don't think I can get the stapler in position to use it.

well as the saying goes,, if you ask 10 beekeepers the same question, you will get 11 answers,.,,

matter of preference,, but I have not had any frames come apart with the glue and a good crown staple,, but if you wish, the nails that came with my frames are about 1 inch long and about 18 gage,,
