Tight seams on CLC kayak. Fluting and Beading?

Posted By: Will Stark

Some strip builders use flute and beading to achieve tight seams (See picture). The concave edge (flute) fits into the convex edge (bead) allowing for a continuous tight seam along the entire length of the joint.

Has anybody tried this flute and bead edging on the plywood panels of a CLC or Pygmy boat?

Thanks, Will
