: Laminating the combing per Nick's book was my weekend project; it
: went fairly well. About halfway through I realized that the
: sharp front bend was looking pretty bad - even with heat my
: strips (.125" X .5") had some air gaps and cracks here
: and there. So, I cut off the front bends at the apex of the
: cockpit opening, and am gluing on a separate piece there made
: out of leftover strips.

That's what I did, made it a 'feature'. I repeated the feature on the bow and stern.
Here's a picture of the combing..
