: I prefer the strongback over the boxbeam. It's much easier for me to build a
: rigid strongback than a rigid boxbeam. Also, I think it's easier to align
: the stations and to support the stem molds. Since I'm using hotglue to
: anchor the strips, it's going to be critical that the forms be able to
: move independent of one another when it comes time to whack-and-remove
: them. A boxbeam threaded through the center would not allow this.

Hi Ross:

I havent started stripping my Return yet but the forms are done and the boxbeam done. Still have to mount them together.

How much glue for each form and strip - dime, pinhead, etc? Glue on strip or glue on form?

Thanks,
