So in summary, you're quite happy to get kicked, punched and whatever else you lunatics do but you don't like hurting your thumb?
As our Septic cousins would say "go figure!"

If you know you are so clumsy why aren't you twice as careful?

Even No More Nails isn't so 'grab' that it'll hold instantly is it? And if it did, you wouldn't be able to adjust the
coving at all!
Using 3-3.6m lengths so couple of nails each end at the 83mm 'drop' line and 1 in the middle just to support the coving whilst I press
each end into the wall and line it all up. Once it's in place, whip out the nail and fill the hole with adhesive.
Actually quite enjoyed it till the hammer incident!
Cheers,
James

Ahh but have you tried no more nails 'instant grab'... that really does! - fitted a load of skirting boards with that and there is no time
for adjustment at all!
