: I'm presently working on stripping my first boat. The stations are 1'-5
: 1/2" apart. The strips are cove & bead: 3/4" x 1/4".
: What is the best way to secure the strips between the stations? When I
: staple the strips to the station, the strips bulge apart in between
: stations. In one instruction I've seen the strips stapled together in
: between the stations. Is this the best way?

When I used bead and cove I worked with the cove up. I dropped foot long sections of dowel rod down into the cove to protect the edges and then used clamps modified with short pieces of string to push down against the dowel and help keep the joints tight.
