The plastic fill tubes are finishing purposes. When the staple is applied, there is a small gap where the metal is exposed. The plastic fill rods and finishing iron (a soldering iron with a flat tip) apply melted plastic to the back of the staple, which cools and solidifies. The fill rods process is for cosmetic purposes but also helps to give it added strength. The repair area is sanded and ready to be prepared for coating.
