Default [IBC] Phoenix Graft Help Needed

Folks:

Finally spring is here in Oklahoma not only on the calendar, but in the
actual weather conditions. Today is sunny and 72 degrees. This is an ideal
time for phoenix grafts or tanuki. Well, a lot of the old-timers told me
they use any available nail or screw to fasten the live material, usually a
variety of juniper, to the dried dead wood. I have seen them use steel and
coated iron nails. In the past I have only used wire and plastic cable ties
myself. I would like to use nails or brads on my next projects.
Colin Lewis in his book states that only copper nails or screws should be
used with junipers. I also recall someone else saying the same thing;
perhaps Brussell Martin.

I am interested in the experiences of you folks as I have difficulty buying
copper nails or brads around here. What have you used and how it worked out?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences.

Cheers.

Peter Aradi
