: I’m stripping my deck without using staples. I’m doing it with clamps and
: using hot melt glue to keep the strips fastened to the forms. I plan to
: only use the hot melt glue where I think it is necessary

: After the deck is glassed, I will have to remove the deck from the forms, and
: want to avoid tearing away cedar in the process. I’m thinking I could slip
: a saw blade under the deck and cut away the hot melt glue. Has anyone done
: it this way?

: Bobby

Couple of blows with a mallet popped off my forms with no problems.
