Fred,

I believe the strips will be no good at all after even a few weeks of lying around your shop. You have to find SOMEWHERE to get rid of them before they go bad. If you can find nowhere else, please email me for my address. I will take them from you for a small fee as long as you pay the postage, and then you will not have strips going bad all over the shop.....

Oh, and I have some salt-water front property in Ohio I have been looking for a buyer for...

Have a great Christmas...

Of course I agree with Rhed et. al. The strips will be waiting for you when you get back to them, and the boat will be very pretty that you build from them.
