If you staple through a sheet of card, then it is a lot easier to remove
the staple once the glue has dried, with less chance of marking the
wood.
If you use nails, then tapping it though a small piece of card will save
you fingers starting the nail. It can be driven right through the card
into the wood, and then you can take the card away afterwards.
Cold Moulded Boats often use nylon nails when fixing the plies together.
These can be left in, and planed or sanded with the wood afterwards.
Some of these may be applicable.
Mike Mears.

I went to an old flying service today to get some 1/4 inch nails
to affix my gussets to the capstrips. I want to use nails and leave them
in the ribs just for self assurance. I am using T-88 glue. I just
thought I pick some of these nails up within a short driving distance so
I could get started building ribs this weekend.
They had some nails that were thirty years old ! They used to
rebuild Steamans there and had some left over. I couldn't tell if they
were coated or not - cement or otherwise. They had not rusted any,
however. They had been transferred from boxes to a plastic container
some years ago. Looked gray in color and may be galvanized but I can't
tell for sure. I guess I could several outside a few days and see what
happens to them.
Were any of these nails ever made untreated with any coating -
Which is what I want to avoid. Or would the epoxy or varnish I use be
protection enough?
Thanks,
Tom

MessageBoy!, we learn something new everyday. Sounds like a great technique Mike,
wished I had known about it before all these nails. You know what they say
about hindsight. Thanks for this valuable piece of info.
