in order that you will be able to answer your own question
you shuold now experimental facts:

while a strong force connection is broken-
a lot of energy is released
with the  order of Mevs. about a million times
more then th e  electron bonds.

btw i could not understand your methaphor about the metal sheet
and feather.
if at all it is the other way
the 'feather' is above the matal sheet but the dimession proprtions
are to oposite way:
the feater is much bigger than the 'matal sheet
the feather is th eelectron
and the methal sheet is small and  is   the nuc.
all the best

Choose a standard distance, say, 1 fm, and compare.
Range is a factor.  The range, r_0, of the nuclear force
is very short, ~ exp(-r / r_0) / r^2, but the Coulomb
and gravitational forces have infinite range,  ~ 1 / r^2.

What is the range of the Strong Force, turkey?  It's vector boson is
massed, therefore...

please, expand a little more. I mean, re-state your idea
