Stainless steel staples are readily available for standard staple guns.
They are used for window screening where the staples must not rust.

Alan,
Here are some relevant excerpts from "Silver Gelatin: A User's Guide to
Photographic Emulsions", by Martin Reed & Sarah Jones, Amphoto, 1995.
Fabric prep:
1-possibly stretching the fabric, making it easier to work & preventing
crumpling during drying:
Involves tensioning fabric around a wooden frame & pinning it into
place. A
tighter surface is produced for coatingf & it makes handling the piece
in
chemistry easier. Larger pieces are easier to work with, as the
stretched
fabric can be held vertically & processed in troughs.
2-protecting the emulsion from contaminants within the cloth:
There may be a problem of contamination from the staples or tacks used
to
attach the fabric to the stretcher, and these can be isolated by sealing
them after tacking, using a silicon sealant of the type used for sealing
in
kitchen & bathroom appliances. Screws can be inserted into the wood of
the
stretcher, which can be used as grips during processing or for hanging
during drying.
Good luck, I'd love to hear how it goes!
