Any hints, tips tricks etc. for getting staples back in the DL650 seat pan after removing and replacing the seat cover?
I have two staple guns, both of which drive staples cleanly into wood, straight and all the way in so they are flush with the surface. Never give me any problems with normal home repair stuff. However neither of them will drive staples cleanly into the seat pan. They typically only go in a few mm and often bend. They're decent quality staples and a decent quality (manual) staple gun. The seat pan material is just too hard I guess.
Do you need something electric powered or "super-pro" quality to drive staples cleanly into the seat pan? Do they make super strong, super sharp staples for applications like this or do people just use the ordinary staples you can get from Home Depot?
I've recovered seats on other bikes and run into similar problems before. Didn't find a solution then either. What am I doing wrong!
