Staples on a Deer CApe Seam?

Submitted by Brain G. on 6/1/02. ( ) 205.188.209.168

Are staples feasible for closing up a incision instead ofsewing? Do they hold as well an are they hard to close?
Thanks for the help.

Try it then you will see the problems and why we sew. That is not a short cut I would do. It won't hold and your hide will not taxi to position.


Its been done before.

Many years ago I saw an article about stapling, there was also one about prepunching the holes.

Now think about this, we are still sewing, what could th ereason be? Sewing is better as are todays urethane based adhesives.
