Hello, we need to attach carpet tackless onto a marble staircase and the re-finisher recommended aluminum drives. He said not to use the hammer
setting on the drill. Does anyone have experience with this type of installation ? Aluminum drives are specialty fasteners, 1/8'' x 7/8'' long, drill through
the tackless, into the marble, then hammer the aluminum nail into the hole for a squeeze fit. What do you think ? will the marble crack or should this be safe. The tackless gets installed onto the treads and risers (appx. 3/4'' away from the crotch) However, we could probably push that measurement out to maybe 1.25'' away, making the drill hole about 2'' away from the crotch. What do you think ?
Thanks
