Strip: Sheer strip help?
By:Steve Frederick

Flipped the boat over, started the deck. My trouble is this: I am having a tough time securing the sheer strip to the forms. I have gone this far without any staples, and would like to keep it that way if possible. Any tips? I tried hot gluing, but, I don't think it will hold. My sheer is 1/2" wide . I was thinking of drilling tiny holes at each form and using pushpins (an old model airplane trick). But I really wanted to stay stapless. HELP!! Thanx all! Steve
