I added a few blocks here and there where needed for extra clamping. I think some people drill a ring of holes near the perimeter of each form and clamp into the holes. Maybe you could drill holes, then put a dowel in the hole nearest where you want to clamp. This way you could clamp to either side of the form, which could be handy, especially near the ends of the boat.

: I wonder if you could glue and nail a strip, say about 3/4" x 3/4"
: around the perimeter of the form. You could either cut the grip strip out
: of plywood, or you could simply steam a 3/4" square strip and then
: nail it on. Then you could use spring clamps to pull the wood strips
: tightly agains the form. What do you people think?

: Thanks,
