I'll try it one more way.

Sheer strip hot glue to form
added the hull strips, edge glue all of them
Sheer strip hot glue pops off in a few spots.....I get in there and glue them back on
Now hot glue the deck sheer strip to the forms
get a 4 or 5 striips on the deck and pop some of the hot glue at the sheer line
Cant get in behind to re glue it so I put quite a few dabs along the joint on the surface (joining the top and bottom sheer strip to each other)
So now I almost have a boat. Need to sand everything fair.
But all those dabs of hot glue are in the way.

Thanks guys

Mike
