Catching up on starboard side now.  Also cut up three remaining 1088 ply sheets into strips. Attempted to run straps under staples but only so so results with plastic.  Straps work well but I can not tear them up with staple damage so I am trying more narrow but thicker strap material.  The military surplus store might have some better options.  The gun has pounded 8 mm staples flush leading to tear up of ply surface.  Maybe just a simple rope under the head will raise it just enough and allow pulling up of one side of staple.  It is easy to lift after that.  2 hours to prep, fit, glue and secure 3 plys.
