: Many thanks for the picture Dave.

: I will sit down tonight and draw out the cockpit template on graph
: paper and mark on the forms as you suggest.

Hi Al,

I, too am working on my first stripper, also a Guillemot. From your video, it appears that you have cut forms 8, 9, and 10 off flat. As I understand it, these forms should be cut off flat but then have their tops hot-glued back on. During stripping, the strips can follow the shape of the whole forms, (ending somwhere beyond where the edge of the cockpit will be). After stripping, the tops of those forms are knocked off to allow for the cutting involved in shaping the cockpit opening.
