: Any reason not to premake the cheater strip first then bend the regular strip
: to fit over the cheater??
: This way, it is much easier to make the two sides match.

You'd think so, but in practice you can't get a fair run on the next full strip. I found it works best to fill the cheater gap than to make the full strips fit the cheater.

All the best,
