Thanks you for all the advice. I'll probably get started with a towel and iron. My problem section is only near the stern between two sections.

Thanks again.

: I am using the wet rag and iron method that Shawn mentioned( I got the idea
: from his website). Use a heat gun to set and dry the strip after steaming.
: I go ahead and glue right away. It is working well, I have most of the
: strips done on the hull, with no staples or cheater strips. Don't use your
: wife's good iron, because it really makes a mess of the bottom!
