So how are you holding the strips on (what glue)
and what will you coat the strips with?

Yep, good ole Tite Bond II, very good glue. And then epoxy and glass over all.

Don't forget lots of pics of the epoxy stage. I have to redo all my seams and will be following closely. I've only ever played with a little patch kit once seams like neat stuff

PS :thumbsup: Looking good

My plan is to cut the doors out from the opposite side with my circ saw, which will cut inwards, following the previous skin cuts, so as not to tear the strips. Thats the plan anyway!?!

Dave - thanks for the idea! Iv'e been glueing 6 strips at a time. The ply behind the strips is only 1/4", so I didn't want to put any more pressure on the screws holding the clamps.

OK your just going to explain how those clamps work, Or maybe I'll have to plan a trip to see them in person. Or both

I like the looks
