In Response To: Strip: wooden coamings (george jung)

: After making a few fiberglass/carbon fiber coamings, I've decided
: to make the next one of wood. The riser is strip-built; I've
: *tried* cutting thin strips of WRC, using a heatgun for 'the
: bends', and wrapping these around the rim of the riser. Quite a
: few gaps, and several cracked strips. I do believe I'll scrap
: this first attempt, and give it another go.

: Any suggestions? Be specific; I'm taking notes!

I posted this a few months back.

good luck
