Earl- I had very good luck with the Arrow T25P stapler, which uses t25staples. These are the rounded staples that are used to staple 1/4 inchtelephone wire. The rounded crown sticks above the mahogany plywood, butstill gives plenty of clamping pressure for T-88 epoxy with good gluesqueeze. The nice thing about these staples is that you can then use anangled needle nose pliers to get under the crown and easily pull the staplesout without scarring the plywood. You can get this stapler at any largehardware store.Al Swanson>Sir;> Can yee tell me what that stapler type is?
