I've been stripping the hull of my first Guillemot and I've realized that I didn't have to use a single cheater strip.

I've been doing a lot of effort trying to keep the strips in place (sometimes I had to nail the strips because the staples were not strong enough) and now I've got the feeling that when the process of pulling out the staples begins, the glue (regular PVA) won't be able to keep everything in its right place.

Just for prevention, what do you think about fiberglassing 2 inches ribs on the inside of the hull prior to pulling out the staples and nails? I mean, I would fiberglass 2 inches tape across the hull, every half way between stations.

I really don't care about extra weight if that is the only issue.

Thanks in advance.
