In Response To: Strip: Form placement wrt paper cut outs (Paul Davies)

As Ian said, the paper is on the side of the form closest to the ends of the kayak and the forms are not tapered or beveled. The strips only touch the form on the edge that has the paper glued to it.

You don't need any complicated engineer's calculations about the spacing. You just mark the strongback with the recommended spacing of 12" and that is where the paper lines up. The thickness of the ply or MDF doesn't matter.

Typical engineer! You are trying to make a simple process more complicated than it need to be. :)
