: 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?

Ok, I'll join in, I also use lots of spring clamps and masking tape, the green tape (kinda lime colored) by 3M I've found works best but is a little tricky to find. I also cut a pile of "U" clamps out of thin plywood, these work great at holding strips together used with spring clamps. Got that tip somewhere on the web, don't remember where though. I'll have to hunt for that one.
