After pulling the staples with the tape/string you placed under the
staples, try a steam iron over the holes. They seal up and only require
light sanding-no filling. If you didn't place the tape/string under the
staples and used a screwdriver to pry them out, then you will need to fill

I used weights when I glued the ply to one side of my fuselage,
however I found the weights need to be very close together (almost
continuous along every joint) else I finished up with places where the
ply wasn't glued to the frame. After all the effort of fixing that, I

You can get staplers with a "wire guide" feature that leaves about 1/16" of the
staple exposed.

I did not use any staples at all. I used weights spread evenly along the
area where the frame meets the plywood. I drew the outline on the

I think 1/4 inch staples are going to work but they
do not go in very deep. What size did you use?

I agree that staples are the thing to use. You've got to have a good bond
and weights will distort and twist the structure. In the '70's someone
mailed in an article to the news letter about a method of removing staples.

Try waxing the staples with floor wax before you load them in the staple
gun. I shot a bunch of waxed staples into the side of my KR today. I'll
give you the results after I pull them tomorrow.

Wax will diminish the holding pressure of the staple and could adversely
affect any wood filler, bondo or finish that will be later used on the
staple holes.
