In Response To: Strip: Bevel or bead and cove learning curve? (Thor)

Hello Thor

I suggest you do not use bead and cove. Instead select a kayak design with simple curves that will allow you to use a simple bevel along the total lenght of the strips.

This will allow you to use the more accurate method of stripping and get through a stapleless build. You are taking on a challenging project with a stapleless first build by the way.

I have had plenty of experience with both methods now and will never use bead and cove again.

Proper planning will go a long way for your plans so take your time and get the right design and stripping methods.

Robert, Visionary
