    Sheetrock Trim? What Is The Trim Your Talking About, If Your Asking How To Hang Sheetrock Then The Answer Is Sheetrock Nails, The Heads Are Concaved To Hold Sheetrock Mud Better Than Regular Nails, But Most Don't Use Them Anymore As We Use 1 1/4 Drywall Screws, Because They Don't Loosen In Time Like Nails Do.

    Now If It Is Just Trim, Like Casing Or Baseboard If So, 8penny Finish Nails For The Base And Outeredge Of The Casing And 4penny Nails For The Inner Edge Of The Casing

    The nails are usually ring shank and should sink into the stud about 1/2"
    when nailing off a ceiling push up and nail then put a second nail about 1"
    away from first and finish by making both nails are tight
    get r done
    How about a rating?
