Some may already be aware, but in traditionally planked wooden boatbuilding you will see nails used or staples, depending on the method to attach thin material or planks to a form, this requires patches to be made etc for the leftover holes.
They now have a plastic staple that can be sanded down and left in place without causing anything more than a joint between pieces of wood vice leaving a hole....this might just resolve the "nails in wood" issue we read about occasionally in rib construction vs glue only/no nails.
