Bjorn, what do you do around the staples? Do you epoxy near them or just in between sections? I epoxied my hull last night and it got around the staples. I waited until today to remove them and luckily they weren't stuck totally. a few staples pulled up a tiny bit of cedar, but it will be sanded down anyways.

It's nice to have the staples out and see a solid hull holding it's own shape.
