In Response To: stapling technique (Ed Valley)

Hmm, I use square edge strips and let the staple bridge the two strips. Only 1 prong of each staple is in each strip. Then the staples fit nicely into my form material.

I suppose with cove and bead strips you might have problems with the staple hitting, and splitting, the thin edge of the cove.
