Stapless Keel Strips

Any suggestions as to how to start the keel strips without using staples? I tried using the hot glue only but when I start the twists toward the bow and stern pieces they pop loose after a few minutes from the stress. Do these need to be steamed in order not use staples. I haven't used any yet, but I had the staple gun in hand after a few tries last night. Thanks,
Steve
