: Before you go madly routing up all your stock consider not bothering. I gave
: up bead and cove years ago and never looked back. The strips are so thin
: anyway that there is very little V between them, especially on the deck.
: If you are doing accent work, especially if you are bookmatching a little,
: you will end up planing off some of your coves or beads anyway. The odd
: touch with a plane may be necessary in very curved areas, but often you
: are having to shape long tapered pointy ends in parts of these areas
: anyway. I wouldn't even dream of it.

: That's my tuppence worth.

I agree, staight edge strips are pretty easy to use.
