: To make things worse, at the
: middle of the kayak the sheer strips meet edge-to-edge whereas at the bow
: and stern, the side of the deck strip will have to meet the edge of the
: hull strip (and I just can't see how the transition from
: edge-in-the-middle to side-at-the-end is going to occur).

Wes,

I am not as far as you on my Redfish King (almost 1/2 done with the hull). I can see that I am going to have a similar challenge with the deck sheer. I am not sure how to manage this rolling bevel.

I see from a subsequent post that you have managed to get yours in place. Could you (or anyone else) describe in a little more detail how to get the deck sheer strip to mate with the hull?

Thanks

Steve
