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

To make it even simpler to rationalise, forget all about what side the paper is glued to for a moment.

Provided the edges of the forms have been cut square, both faces of the form will have identical dimensions, so it doesn't matter in the slightest which way around you put them from a dimensional perspective.

What does matter is that you measure the placement so that the face that is most toward the closest end of the kayak is in the right location.

BUT... from an alignment perspective, it's a whole lot easier to get your forms lined up if you can see the alignment marks on the paper..

So, paper to the ends, but not for the reasons you were thinking!
