: I built a one ocean storm slt and bead and coved all the strips. They are a
: pain to deal with and the finished product looks terrible! Also built a
: cirrus hybrid, and beveled all the strips. This one looks great and was
: easier to do.

I agree, Don't bother with bead and cove, especially if you are going to be using thin strips and especially on the deck. More trouble than it is worth and not so easy to book-match and pattern.
