: Hi Glen,

: As long as you like that look to the strips, that'll work fine.
: Actually there is little you can do wrong with strips as long as
: they follow the forms.

: Bill H.

The perceived consensus seems to have answered my initial question, that is to leave the design alone. So the next stage is managing the cheater strips or just bending thinner strips. Mike suggested that running the cheater strips past the sheerline & then using the sheer strip as a batten to trim all the cheater strips in one foul swoop might give a lumpy result, I'd be interested to know if anybody has actually tried it or are there any further thoughts on doing this 'cause it initially seems to have some merit but I could easily be missing something. I don't want to run into a whole lot of problems unnecessarily.
