In Response To: Re: S&G: Cirrus Deck - Tips? (Severne)

: So, I started with the stitches on either side of the line and twisted
: them in opposite directions and alternated directions. My initial sequence
: was one on the bow side clockwise, TWO on the stern side counterclockwise,
: one on the bow side clockwise, one on the stern side counterclockwise,
: etc.

Thanks Severne, I had not thought about that idea. Since I have covered up the scarf lines on the Cirrus with veneer I cannot check them for alignment.

Are the drill holes in the Pygmy aligned directly across from each other? If so could you not just check those and determine if a shift in a panel had occured?

BTW could you see the photos in my previous posts? I am having problems viewing photos through the KBBB.
