Hi John;

Yes, I think that is the way to go . . . I did not have great success with the hot glue on the sheers either, and ended up leaving clamps in place throughout the hull stripping. The advantage of an internal strongback also becomes apparent in that you can leave the hull sheers attached throughout the deck building as well.

On the sublect of plugs, I would tend to try to match the strip closely (non-contrasting), so as to make them less visible . . . :)
