S&G: Cirrus update "tip"

I've yet to post a building site for my Cirrus since there's really nothing worth posting just yet, but I thought I'd pass on a tip that's helped me cut out my panels. I used my electric staple gun to temporarily tack the okoume plywood in a two piece sandwich. The staples hold the wood securely, allowing me to cut out two panels (right and left) at once. I left the staples in until I'd sanded the cut edges with my fairing board. Five staples over 17' did the trick.
