Strip: Strip: pulling staples. *PIC*

Hello all,
I finally fit the last strip on my first build. Only took a little over a year to get to this point so I'm kind of excited about it :)
My thought was to start pulling staples soon while weather is still tolerable. Fair/sand throughout the winter and be ready for glass in the spring when it warms up. I live in Michigan and am working in an unheated garage. so the sanding progress would more than likely be quite slow..

Will I be shooting myself in the foot by pulling staples pre-winter and letting it sit that way for extend periods? Will the two halves keep their shape on the stations, but staple-less?

Thanks much for any advice.
