Has anyone used a nail gun (pin gun) with an air compressor, to nail the cork down with 1/2 inch finish nails? I have used these guns a fair amount for installing floor trim, and they work really well once you get the air pressure adjusted just right. You can buy the nails in a coated brown color, so they would blend right in with the cork.
Thanks for any experiences.

I use my pin brad nailer and turn the air pressure down. I also hold the gun slightly above the cork so the nails don't blow right thru it. Of course it matters what you're nailing into and how strong your nail gun is.

I don't use glue. If there's an issue, usually with a curve section, I can easily pull it up and do it again. I use 2 rail flex track and try and have easements into the curves.
