: Just started on my shear strip. Doing the scarf joints as I go. The one scarf
: joint I did last night moved 1/32 in. will this sand out? Should I remove
: the shere strip, cut this out and start again? Should I do all scarf
: joints on a form? Do I need to do all joints on a table or just the shear
: strip?

Sage, I second everything Paul G. Jacobson just stated. If its your shear strip, it should be as perfect as possible. Give it another try using Pauls suggestions. This will make all the future strips go on even better.

Good luck and don't fret too much :)
