I've heard it both ways. I used staples for light clamping pressure with t-88, then pulled the staples and pilot drilled w/#65 drill bit, then used nails.Lastly, if you staple, a good way is to put a narrow 050, or 035 shim under the stapler, then staple. That way the staple doesn't go all the way in and it's easier to pull out after the gussets set up.>From: "Craig L.Hanson" >Reply-To: Pietenpol Discussion >To: Pietenpol Discussion >Subject: Staples in ribs>Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 21:58:09 -0500>>I seen alot of ribs made with small steel or simular material left in the >ribs.
