Stapleless in Seattle... hull stripping underway *Pic*

Hello All

Finally started the fun part, and thanks to this board, it's almost like having done it many times before. It's too bad there aren't more bbs as good as this to learn other skills...8-)

Attempting to go cove and beadless as well, so far so good...but then I'm not to the serious chines yet. Using a modified dremel router/base to bevel the in- place strip tops, and plane to bevel the next strip during installation.

Using electric glue in place of staples, so far working very well. The few forms (seen in photo) with wedges are to hold the strips tight while glue cools.

happy trails
ron
