I guess they might be available. We used an old craftsman with standard staples and silently hoped the holes wouldn't show at all. They are in fact fairly prominent and we should have take extra effort to line up the staples. I don't mind the "stapled" look, just commenting on things to improve.
: Thx Vernon...are stainless steel staples an option? I've got Nick Schrade's
: book coming in shortly, so I'm not too familiar with procedures yet. Mark

: >>>the staples tend to rust and stain the hull
