Re: Strip: Do you tape form edges if using hot glu

Hi Rob,

I used your technique with great success on the deck after I had used staples on the hull. If you glue both the deck and the hull to the forms, how do you get at the forms to knock them loose after both the hull and deck are done?

Best regards,

Allan Edie

When your hull is done, mark the station locations with a pencil, knock out the stations and place them back in the hull with only a dot of hot glue on the sheer strip. This makes deck removal easy.
