I've been using a dab about the size of a split-pea. As I'm holding the strip tight against the previous strip, I lift the leading edge a little and put a dab of glue in from the side, and then push the strip against the form. I try to stay away from the edge of the bead because if it squishes out there, you have to cut it off before adding the next strip.

You better get stripping, Pete.

: 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,
