: Hehehe! Pretty ornery there, old son! I can see our newbie now,
: tearing all the strips off and starting over....

Sorry to sound ornery. I was worried long after I posted it that it may have come across that way. So- I will also say that they don't make a bit of difference, and if you try and fill them it will only make it look worse in the end.

B&C is potentially stronger than a rolling bevel because there is a greater surface area for the glue- but you've got to be sure that you've got tight contact between the forms. For me this meant using masking tape as a clamp, with a 1/4" dowel fit in the cove to protect the edges from being crushed by the tape. I'll try and post a photo later.
