:Make it accurate here. This is your
: foundation... Good Luck...

While I was recovering from whatever bug I had, I came up with a hundred ideas about how to better align the forms, I even considered making adjustable brackets for each form then bolting the brackets to the to the strongback and then adjusting the forms as I needed to. In the end, I decided to just figure out how to do it the way I started. Like I said, its all within a 1/16th of an inch, so I am happy. I have my sheer strips on right now and they are super smooth all the way down.

Right now I am waiting on some scarfs to dry. Note to self: Pick up some CA for scarfing. I'm not digging this waiting before finishing a strip.
