: I know I've read some posts here, there, and everywhere about strip building
: without staples. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any of them in archive
: searches-- more accurately I don't want to spend the time it takes to
: filter through unrelated posts to find the ones I want.

: So, starting yet another staple-less thread, how have people done it in the
: past? I'm thinking about just using some 3M painters tape, at this point,
: but I'm not sure how well that will hold. Any other suggestions?

: FrankP

3M's got a new version of their blue painter's tape that although not real sticky does stretch more than the orriginal, works pretty well. Been using it for the past couple days. That and hot melt glue on the forms should work. For my current project, staple holes don't matter, just passing the info along.
