Old products meet new construction ideas. Nice to see old boats restored.

Nice!!!

Simply split a full sized one ( 1 and 1/8th) in half, bead and cove it and use the two pieces in place of the one full one till you are past the troublesome area. The split pieces will match up and give you the look of the full normal sized strip.
Hope the makes sense to you

drips and runs are more easily handled with a scraper followed by sanding. I would suggest vacuuming and then washing down with a clean cloth and water.

If you are 4 planks down from the stern stem (freedom 17) you can likely add a few more planks on both sides then start filling in one side only till the centre line is covered completely. Be sure to number your strips as you fill in one side to ensure you will have a matching strip for the other si...

If you still have time and access to a 1/2 sheet or 1/3 sheet flat sander perhaps dampen hull again and sand with 180. I find the final sanding with 180 gives a cleaner look after it is glassed. It seems to my eye anyway finishing with 120 (which is where i usually stop ) leaves it a bit muddy looki...

Usually just cut the plugs level, sand, and epoxy after. The epoxy will lock it in place.

cutting on hull side esp for outwale reduces the amount of end grain exposed and also retains a very smooth curve , hence the reason it is recommended by Canoecraft.

Hi W

cut taper on boat side for both inwale and outwale, makes a very neat non clunky look
