: Bobby,
: Are you cove 'n beading your strips? If not, have you tried it? If routed
: properly, you should be able to avoid these gaps requiring filler
: especially on decks where the curvature is much less. I had some gaps on
: my hull using C'n B strips, but only because I was not as particular when
: doing so. By the way, I really like your designs.

I did use cove and bead, but had trouble where the deck transitioned from round to flat and at the same time had some curvature along the sheerline. Later I discovered that if I had twisted the strip in the opposite direction there would have been no gap. However, I decided not to do it over and try to fill in the gap. You can see the result.

I’m glad you like my designs.
