: Picture 100 staples, semi-sharpened, peeling off the stick and shooting of
: the grinding wheel in any and every direction, at about Mach-2.3.

: You will sill get discoloration as the sharp staples will then cut the grain
: and open up the edges.

: If you want staple-less, then don't use staples. Buy a clamp.... save an
: eye!!
