Monel Staples :D

: I used Monel staples. The package costs $20 at Ace Hardware. It takes almost
: half a package for one kayak. Staples are easier than tacks, unless you
: have 3 or 4 hands, but then there are too many hands in a small area with
: a hammer swinging.

I ordered Monel staples at the local Ace Harware Super Store. When I asked for them they said, "Mon what?", or was it, "What the Monel are you talking about."
I think they are $17.99 a box. Ace had to order 4 boxes (3 of which will be put on a shelf to collect dust). So if antone in the Portland area needs Monel Staples. I know a store that will be more than willing to get rid of 3 boxes.
