: just a tip I think I discovered today I was snipping my wires with diagonal
: cutters and tried using a cheap pair of nail clippers they work great
: getting the wires nipped off closer to the wood than the cutters and with
: more control try it !!!!!!
Hi,
why donīt you tab in between the stiches and remove all the wire once the epoxi has set. Just filling the seams is enough to keep the panels in place, after removing the wires you can do a nice filleting job.
I did the guillemot s&g that way and had in that respect no problems, but "a few" in other respects.
Have fun Joaquin
