In Response To: Strip: first strip kayak (warren williamson)

I've used nails in the past. They supply more holding power than a staple, but take longer. I.e. it is a couple taps of a hammer vs one shot with a staple gun.

They make one big hole instead of two little ones. If you are free of the obsession to make a "blemish-free" boat, either works fine.
