: I've also seen an interesting method where the strips were tied
: onto the forms using monofiliment fishing line, after the hull
: is complete the line is just cut off from the inside and sands
: just like wood. If the right test line is used (no idea what
: strength line to use) would have a bit of stretch to hold the
: strips snug.

: I think WoodenBoat magazine did an article about this method.

: Bill H.

That would work but is likely to leave pressure gouges where the line goes around the edge of the strips. Wetting down the finished stripping might raise out the marks, though.
