Are these the staples?

Hey guys on the website and the book Jeff mentions staples with a tapered end. Are these the right ones? I just found them randomly and only one pack in the store.

 

I've been looking around and these are all I've found. This is for the stonefly canoe.

Damn - alright how about these:

Those have the tapered ends. Those are 3/8ths but I can also get them in 5/16ths, 1/4, 7/32.

 

Then there is the Monel ones with chiseled ends:

I suspect from my research and your notes, I should go with the monel - is 1/2 OK? 

 

And if you are having difficulty finding monel chisel staples:

Ended up ordering the monel ones with the divergent end (finally found the term from an Arrow rep on the Home Depot site). Will update on how they are. Was going to buy the galvanized ones but couldn't find them in Canada's Home Depot or on Amazon so there's that.
