: Once you have the form, why not bend a coaming hoop around the form, then
: glue the strips directly to it? You'd have to make the hoop tall enough to
: compensate for curvature, then trim it to size later.

One problem with this is you'd have to fit the ends around the cockpit so the fit is tight, easier to cut it out later on. Generally I'm lazy, will do the easy way if I can :)
