: I've had my share of coaming lip strips breaking, too. Generally, I cut them
: less than 1/8" (1mm) thick. Often I wet them and SLOWLY bend them
: into shape, let them dry and glue the next day.

John,

I was using thin strips. I think the main problem was that I had curvature in two directions and was using WRC.
