Once again we are going to start by taking this long piece that is coming from this corner pulling it tight holding it down with the one hand. Okay, now once again remembering we want to get as few ridges in here as possible. Let's see, how we can do this. There we go. Okay, there so we got just the one ridge there, you want to pull it really tight with this hand, as tight as you can, and then remembering that this staple is right there I am going to put another one right here.
