Amen to that; it's how I finally decided I had it down well enough, and it does show you what the strings didn't. I used several strips on either side, knowing that I'd use them later in short pieces for short spots, cockpit recess and coaming.

: Put a strip on before declare the forms fair. If you think you are close, lay
: a strip down and look at it. Actually use several strips. Place one along
: the keel and others on the sheer to check.

: The boat is fair when strips lay fair.
