Default What kind of staples and stapler ?

I'm transfering a top and was wondering what kind of staples are used
to hold the top on. Are they from a pnuematic stapler or is the staple gun
I use for Christmas lights ok. I'm sure someone here has swapped tops before.
Are the staples stainless or just normal?
Thanks for any help.

I've already got a backup plan if things get out of control.........
It's a 500 hundred dollar backup plan, that's the problem.....
