: Seems like I saw a stretch cord method of attaching stips. Anyone have more
: info on this. I was thinking about dry wall screws on forms to hold
: stretch cords. What stretch cord works best?

hi brad;
i'm useing a method that is described by mac macarthy in his book featherweight boat building. a short peice of 1/4" dowel for the shock cord protects the cove edge.
