I was all set to attach my first strip tonight but have found that the hot glue won't stick to the masking tape that I have on the forms. I had thought that this would be the best tape to use as it has a bit of a rough surface. Any thoughts on the subject? I was also curious about the need for the slow setting glue for strength over the all purpose fast set type. As you probably figured out I'm hoping to build this boat stapleless.
