Hi All;

The tapers needed when joining the keel strips to the sheer strips have slowed me "right down." New pix of a 'nearly' completed hull are up at the link "Hull Construction" at the bottom of this post.

The speed slows to a crawl when you have to wait for the glue to dry before proceeding - - And these *l*o*n*g* tapers require lots of jigging and dry time to get it right. Any hints as to how to speed stapleless construction along during the taper phase?

Best Regards, Spidey (Ken)
