I usually leave my compressor turned all the way up at about 120 psi.  Don't know as this is best for the guns but I've yet to blow one up.  I hate it when low pressure causes a nail be only partially driven home.

i could not find any other material that was cheaper than red oak. what is this molding supposed to be made of if you paint it?

I hope you have an air nailer or you might be talking to yourself by the time you finish nailing that red oak by hand.  If you must nail by hand I recommend pre-drilling your nail holes.

Hi Experts,

Im planning on installing quarter round shoe molding on top of my floor. The molding is made of Red Oak. My question is this: Must I prime the wood before painting it white? Or is priming a must in this case?

Any info would be great.

Thank you.
