Watched a couple videos, feel a little better that I'm not alone in this. Not that it helps.
I put a stair/border board on, then the first deck board, surface screwed the side by the border board. (Which I found has to be pre drilled, otherwise the screw head mushrooms. Yes, I'm using the composite screws.) Put the clips on opposite side, put next deck board on. Put clips on opposite side, now some of the previous clips are no longer holding. It looks like it pulled away from first set of clips.
Anyone have any experience with them? Is it a certain angle that you start the clips at? Am I over tightening the clips?
The part of the job I wasn't worried about is kicking my BUTT!!!
