Temporary Tacking
By: Amanda Campbell
Updated: September 1, 2011
Tools:
Stapler and staples
Emory board or Popsicle Sticks
Tape (to hold the boards to the stapler)
Pliers (to remove the staples after the job)
A stapler, unlike most other fastening tools, often is used for temporary jobs, such as tacking up a poster-board sign, drop cloth or plastic window covering.
To make it easier to take down the item, tape the stick from an ice cream pop to the bottom of the stapler before stapling. That way, each staple will stick up a little so you can easily pull it out later with pliers.
