looking for other folks preferences before I plunge into the gluing mode,
I'd like to try other ways of making rub strips without out successive layers and feathering, which works but puts more material on either side of the wear area than needed. I'm about to experiment with glued 5mm line set into a recess then glassed over, dynel cord (how do you make that floppy stuff fair up well? I like the 1/8" thick layer of s-glass I've put on some boats but the amount of feathering is a pain, brass strips work ok but are a little persnickety for some shapes. Nothing like dragging a pretty boat by the bow when you have to and not worrying about the stern.
