Rob,
Where do you get 9/16 in. (14 mm up here in Canada) staples that do not have a chisel point? I can not find any here in Canada that are cut on a diagonal. All I can find are Tile Staples in 13 mm that are sharp and pointy. The 14 mm chisel end ones created a lot of tearout when used parallel with the strips. A lot of filler was required to clean these areas up. This is not a major problem on a kayak but really shows up when building canoes. I used Bostick T 50 staples and a T 50 stapler. Any thoughts? Regards, Erich
PS. Just started my North Star form. Looking forward to an early June launch. I have a carved life sized Loon head and shoulder for my figure head.
