Thanks john the info and link, I’ve already borrowed some of your stapless techniques on my latest boat, a Wee Lassie.

: Roger - I used a Pro Prep scraper on my Wee Lassie II. It has interchangeable
: blades, and is the handiest scraping tool I have used. Check my web site
: for a complete story on building the WLII. As for glue, the Titebond II
: has a yellow dye in it that makes it a bear to get the stain out of the
: wood. I use original Titebond, and cleanup is a lot easier. - John
