In Response To: Strip: When to mount hardware (hatches, rigging) *LINK* (Rick Brannan)

: I'm wondering about hatch hardware and rigging. Should I pre-drill the holes
: for hardware, refill 'em, and all that jazz before or after the two are
: joined?

I vote for drilling and filling before joining - it's easier to get the tape on the back side of the hole in some cases - and then drill the final hole whenever it works for you.
