No more staples yeah! Hot Glue, Hot Glue, Hot Glue!

I dunno, Rob...
;-)
From your website:
Once I've applied the strip to the station, with hot glue (or staples on the hull bottom)

Anyway, it's tough to get good hot melt glue shipped to Canada, so I'll probably be using staples for a while longer.
And it's a whole lot faster with staples, when doing a 'plain' strip layout intended for paint later. Besides, I don't think hot glue would hold the strips to forms in some areas of a build like Frej.

But, I will admit I thought seriously about switching to hot glue when I was having problems pulling staples without breaking. And for a 'work of art' stripping pattern, staples don't make sense.
So, my mind is not closed on the choices!
