A nail (10) and a method using the nail (10) for securing two materials toge ther spaced by an interposed resilient material (22). Th e nail (10) has a shaft (32) having a first end and a second end. The nail has a head extending radially around the shaft (32) at the first end. The second end of the shaft (32) has a point (34). A sleeve (30) has general ly a cylindrical shape and a pair of ends (38). The slee ve (30) has a cylindrical center portion (40) and a pair of frusto-conical tape red portions (42). The method comprises the steps of lay ing the first material against the second material spaced by the resilient material (22), driving the nail (10) through the first material, the resilient material (22) and into the second material with the point (34) of the shaft (32) piercing the resilient material (22) and into the s econd material with the point (34) of the shaft (32) piercing the resilient materi al (22) and the second material.
