In Response To: Rounding over the chines (Craig Christensen)

I have just finished the same step. I don't know if you have plans with the kit or not, but I used the drawing that shows the radius and made a little cardboard template. I just held it over the chines and then planed until I was pretty close. I did end up getting into the plies, but I'm painting anyway. It looks good when the glass is sitting over it.

Good luck

Paul
