: I have just finished the bottom on my Night Herron and want to attach the
: first strip on the deck. I know that I must not glue this to the sheer
: strip, but am wondering how to begin the deck. So far I have been able to
: be staple-less, but think that this deck/sheer strip will have to be
: stapled to the hull sheer.

: The other problem is the angle that is formed on this deck at this point. It
: ranges from vertical at the cockpit to almost horizontial at the ends. Any
: help in this area would be greatly appreaciated.

i'am almost finished stripping the deck on a night herion the sheer strip touches flush by the cockpit then runs over as it gets near the bow and stern i figured i'd just trim off the over hang and round it out with the plane.
