In Response To: Strip: Opps, Missed a step, what to do now? (MacMcCaskie)

: I've realized after I've sanded and faired the deck and hull of my
: micro-bootlegger, I didn't attach the bow and stern pieces per the
: instructions. I.E. Those bent ash strips on the ends.

I've actually been adding the outer stems after I have attached the deck and the hull, thus doing them in one piece without having to cut them. I would finish doing the deck and the hull, put them together, then install the stems, sand them smooth and then add glass over them when they are done.

There are lots of right ways of doing this.
