Video Transcript

" Now when you’re doing anything with an air gun, you have to keep in mind that sometimes the pressure might vary from shot to shot and your nail might not sink all the way. It could also be if this wood here is maybe a little bit harder here than here if there is a knot in it or something like that. So in the event that you’ve a got a nail sticking up, you’ve got one here and also one over here, all you need is a hammer and a nail set and just take your nail set with your whatever hand you are right-handed. I will take my nail set with the left, put it on the nail, what you want to try to do is since that nail is straight in there with the angle that the gun was, you want to try to put this at the same angle as the gun. So you can push the nail straight in. So our gun was close to level, a few small taps and you’ll slide it in. You end up with a little bit of hole there from the set but easily filled with caulking and you’re all set. There is another one right over here you can watch. Just place your nail set right on the head of the nail, that is sticking out, try to keep it pretty level, few good taps and there you go, you’re in."
