To staple or ???

I am getting ready to start the stripping process on a spring run in the next week or so and am debating weather to us staples or not. I sure would like to get by without them but am concerned about the extra time it would take. From reading the Q&A's on this forum for the last couple of weeks I am sure there is someone out there who has built kayaks both ways. Can you lay several strips at a time and then wait for the glue to dry or is it a one strip at a time process? Any help you can give this novice would be greatly appreciated. Nick
