In Response To: sheer clamp installation help (chris j)

I have used staples successfully. I have a 3/4 crown stapler. If you use a scrap strip outside the plywood, staple through it with 3/4" staples, it holds real well. Then if you put a rub rail outside it will hide the staple holes. Otherwise use lots of clamps.
