Herbert, you certainly have a habit of looking at things different from what others might do :-)
Whether you use adhesive tape or little wedges to hold the to-be- glued rib in place, you won't need any holes in the mould, because you just attach one rib to those formerly glued on. You just apply the adhesive, preferably good old hide glue, fix the rib with tape or whatever your preferred method is and here we go. The trick is that you fix one rib at a time and not all simultaneously. That is why no holes are required.
