: Can I really tape the edges togeather instead of drilling holes and inserting
: hundreds of wires? Read Bill & Ted's adventure for this idea. If it
: has already been extensively discussed, please direct me to the previous
: discussion Thanks, Dennis

I have never tried this tape and glue method but just I finished the stiching and edge gluing process on my Arctic Tern Hull and I can not imagine how I would get the panels aligned without very strong wires. It is hard enough with hundreds of wires!!

BTW - I like the look of the wire holes in the finished hull. Looks more authentic.
