: Heck, I just glue up scarfs in situ on the boat as I go along,
: never miss a beat in my stride.

So do I.

I hate handling 5 metre long strips and glueing the scarf on the kayak avoids that problem. It also makes life a lot easier when I have to do those long thin tapers on both ends of the strip. I taper the ends first and when I am finally happy with the fit, I cut to length and use the belt sander to create the angle for the scarf.

I find it so easy doing things that way that it never occurred to me that people would start by creating long. hard to handle strips. :)
