Thanks Daren
I like your advice! I am building a Great Auk Double.
I am new to this game, and intend to use staples. I had thought that the staples might pull the strip down flat against the form, leaving a distortion if it wasn't accurately bevelled to fit the lines of the boat.
Should I perhaps bevel the last 2-3 forms? What do you think?
