Hi Ross,

I remember asking you if you built it in one piece and then gluing it into your boat and you telling me you built it in place. It's too bad chip didn't see your answer before he built his.

Chip, if you used yellow glue, perhaps you could soak the strip in water until it came apart and then reglue the pieces inplace like Ross did.
