I just thought of one more thing. Sometimes a little water on the dents will help to lift them up again. Try this before you try to fair the boat next time.

I dont think they are worth it....

- They make large holes.
- Colors dont match well. (defeating the point of using them)
- They easily make cross indentions (see picture) which takes forever to sand
out, while maintaining a fair surface.
- And then there is the nucklebusting trying to get the deck/hull off the frames,
which has already been described by others.


Do you own experimentation on some scrap if you wish. I will sell you my staple
gun and leftover staples cheap if you are still interested.
