: make your cheater strips less than one strip!!!!! I didn't and ended with a
: section of bow and stern that was sharper than the rest. I had to sand the
: rest of the bow and stern down to that leval afterwords. It was a bicth!

If you end up with a gap that is slightly wider than one strip, glue together two strips before shaping them to fit the gap. This is easier than shaping a small piece to fit.
