I originally heard of Raptor composite staples from Henny’s site where he is using them to hold fabrics in place for infusion. When I first researched their product almost a year ago, I thought it would at least be useful for holding fabric still during large hand layups (I still think this, although now it will be used a lot during the infusion process). What sold me was that they can stay in the laminate because they are composite, and the price isn’t too bad for a specialty item.

The part that I think is the funniest about it all, is I heard about them from the Fram site (In the Netherlands) and they are about 10 miles up the highway from me in Round Rock!
