In Response To: Strip: Stripping Question (Parke)

: I'm presently working on stripping my first boat. The stations are 1'-5
: 1/2" apart. The strips are cove & bead: 3/4" x 1/4".
: What is the best way to secure the strips between the stations? When I
: staple the strips to the station, the strips bulge apart in between
: stations. In one instruction I've seen the strips stapled together in
: between the stations. Is this the best way?

Ok that was a difficult search, got the U clamp thing from Nick's book, very highly recommend that book btw, very valuable resource for building these things. Here's a link from Nick's site: http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/Building/BuildingNotes/index.html
