: OK I am onto the bottom of the boat now. I want to put a keel strip
: down each side of the keel. So when these strips come to the bow
: stem should they lay straight? I would have to trim both edges.
: The lower edge to join the last strip on the side and then trim
: what is sticking out past the stem. Or make a bend right at the
: end so the Keel strip follows the stem? And just trim the lower
: edge to match last strip.

: I better go watch that video again.

Keel strip is normally on the keel, not off to one side. If it's made of bias cut glass it can run right up the stems.
