: Yeah, I made some out of .125" board from HD (dark brown
: smooth on one sde, textured on the other) and they're perfect.
: First saw them on Kurt's site. The one problem I have is they
: messed up the view of the curve. Staples worked fine.

: Probably overdid it. Apart from one form being slightly off, which
: releasing from the L bracket fixed, they look perfect. If there
: was a step to overdo, this was it

: Thanks!

They work great for holding the strips in place when you're building, along with a whole bunch of rolls of masking tape :)

The green tape works best for me, more resistant to tearing.
