In Response To: Strip: Stapless stripping (victor druten)

: Read about a lot of tricks/methods for doing the staple-free wood
: stripping...especially on top part of hull and deck. But, putting that
: FIRST strip on hull looks a little daunting if you are NOT stapling. any
: suggestions for this first piece?

Hi Victor,
Hot glue can hold the first strip to the molds fine and it breaks free of cedar fairly well.
You could use a sacrificial strip and work from that, swapping the sacrificial strip for a good one later. That can be done as a feature.

Hope this helps,
