In Response To: Strip: strips pulling away from forms (Quentin)

i am building guillemot to, and had the same problem. i used a combination of the following:

1: the "stapleless method" clamps from the book will add some extra bending power to the staples until the glue dries and holds the strip in place. and this add no extra holes.

2: Brads worked in stubborn areas. put as few brads as possible because they have larger holes than staples.

3: I also had to use the heat gun once. i never had to steam, there is enough humidity in FL its not necessary.
