Hi Victor.
I did both my first and second kayaks' without staples and yes it takes longer but I think its worth the effort. I held the first strip in place at the shear using some 90 deg. sheet metal brackers i made, bolted to the form and just clamped the strip to the bracket. You could hot glue the strip in place if you didn't have enough clamps.
One of the fun parts of the project was coming up with ways to hold the strips in place.
