I hope nobody minds my asking, but what is the point in using staples to save building time, only to spend all that saved time figuring out ways to hide the holes...? I read about the clamping method in Nick's book-does this method work? I was hoping to use it but if everyone is trying to fill in the holes then it would seem that any staple-less method does not work. I saw a post where one used bicycle tubes. What other methods are there that clamp the strips while the glue dries yet leave no *unsightly* scars? Thanks.
