There may be other methods, but I just nail that first strip in place. Use thin enough flat head nails with a scrap of strip under the head to protect the deck.

When the nails are removed, a few minutes with a wet cloth and a hot iron and the holes are almost impossible to find.

I don't use staples, but I am prepared to nail any strip to the form if it won't behave. I usually only need that in half a dozen places near the bow and stern.
