The latest fad is to bevel strips

I've been into this fad for 25 years.

After years of working with bead and cove I switched to hand beveling. The reason was, I kept having big glue lines appear after the surfaces were sanded. It's very hard to tell if the bead edges are totally seated in the cove.

If your cutters are not set PERFECTLY this problem will be worse!

I'd be willing to bet 90% of novice builders who mill their own bead and cove do not set-up their cutters PERFECTLY!

Do you think they will toss those strips and start over? I don't think so.

BS - I bend strip panels (flat edged strips glued with yellow carpenter's glue) with a heat gun, for my hatch deck lips without the joints coming apart, so the epoxy/glass laminate will burn before the glue lines will soften.
