: you throw out the stapler and buy some strapping tape. Of course I'm assuming
: you're using staples.
: With strapping tape you can put preload on the strip whereas staples only
: hold the strip down. Strapping tape is just about as easy as staples. You
: can strap a strip on one side, go work on the other side, then come back
: and do the next strip. Just about everyone that's tried has liked it.

bungie cords work great! just drop a short piece of 1/4" dowel into the cove where the bungie cord crosses from outside to inside. one end of the cord is clamped to the shear strip. the tag end is clamped to a station form at whatever angle is required to hold the strip till the glue sets up.
