How long do I have to wait for the glue to dry before removing the clamps and tape to add the next strip?

Too long!Probably.Try it.Let us know.
Nice boat.Consider using hot melt glue stitches as per Rob Macks Laughing loon method.Depressing when the strip lets go 'cos the need for progress got ahead of a methodical process.Miserable, if you find out down the track. One step forward ?steps back.Make sure you don't create two problems to solve one, get the right hot melt formula,keep the strips on the forms etc.Research Rob's web site.Do a search on this forum.Have fun!
All the best.
