Try stapling a sacrificial strip below sheerline then progress as you intend to do:
I used mainly masking tape to hold mine together!

When doing a staple-less build, otherwise following along in Schade's book,
: what are the options for securing the first strip to the forms?

: 1) Screw it, then later drill the holes bigger to fit a flush-cut dowel
: (extra work)

: 2) Screw it, and live with the holes (eww)

: 3) Lots of C-clamps and L-shaped bits of wood ($$$)

: 4) Cove the sheer on both sides, then rest it on screws fitted with beads
: (just thought of it, but sounds fiddly)

: others ...?
