i used a laser on a tripod(halogen light)stand..does ok...try and check all four sides and then check them again and again...quit only when you get really sick and tired of it but not if you still need to nudge a form a tad only to find another is now off...repeat process...eventual blurred vision is normal ignore it.

you could use a heat gun for the glue..

: Hello,

: I'm ready to attach my forms to the strongback and get started. A few
: questions: 1) I'm thinking to mark the centerline on the strongback to use
: as the center reference, and then use a laser alignment tool to project a
: horizontal line at the waterline as I install each form. Has anyone tried
: this? What results?
: 2) My construction space is not heated and I live in central Ohio. What are
: the practical temperature limits for Elmer's wood glue? (heating the space
: is way too expensive)

: Thanks for the input

: Scott
