: Hi Nick;

: Wow! Looks awesome! Tape is so much more fulfilling than those staple
: thingies, hey what? Keep up the great work.

: Your Friend, Spidey

I have to pull and "Abe Lincoln" and confess!!
There are a couple of dozen emergency staples in this boat when I realized the shear strip was creaping at the front. I heard somewhere that it is really important to set them tight!!!

Next time I will use the hot glue method at least for the shear and see what happens.
Thanks for all of your help. I really keep track of all you regulars and have learned ton's.

Still learning in the Northwest,

Nick

ps I'll try and get another photo on in a little bit
