: I have just finished making a hull and I used elastic bands to hold the
: strips down. no staples or screw holes yet. I have heard of string being
: used but think elastic would be quicker. I still think its worth the time to construct a jig that lets you slide the strips in , then use small wood wedges to hold the strips in place . It will stop any stair steping and you can get major toque and twist without breaking the strip
