Just so this didn't get lost, rotary cutter and a heavy straightedge.

Haven't built a kayak in a while, but I had a clean smooth board to cut on, the carefully lifted strip to my plastic sheeted surface and prepregged it, the straight onto the kayak. Very neat process. Kept strips of bias cut around 3' long to be manageable. I didn't have much luck rolling mine up or trying to manage longer strips for an unrolling application like with selvage edge tapes which are great for the inside seam.
