: I agree that an extra pair of hands helps, but with steamed parts,
: you need far fewer clamps. The jig I use for making coamings has
: a total of 14 clamps. On a S&G or strip boat, the coaming
: riser is the jig. The key is to bend the rim strip around the
: "jig" quickly and clamp both ends and both sides (four
: clamps), then take your time positioning it accurately elsewhere
: (you can do this for several minutes at room temperature). Let
: it cool and dry, remove it, then apply epoxy and bond it in
: place. Repeat the process for the second strip, and for a third
: if you want a deeper lip.

This is why I like carbon fiber coamings .
