Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Plastic cap nails are the standard for synthetic underlayment because the cap prevents pull-through and tear-out at high wind loads. Keep the 1 in. bucket for standard single-layer synthetic felt and step up to 1-1/4 in. where decks are uneven or thicker materials are used. On high-wind jobs, tighten spacing at eaves and rakes per the underlayment manufacturer.
Wear eye protection when driving cap nails, and keep fingers clear of the cap when hand-nailing.
Stock up on Stinger EG RS plastic cap nails in 1 in. or 1-1/4 in. buckets for your next roofing job.
