Inwales, outwales, seats, yoke and decks are then installed to complete your project. When sanding the hull, you will sand mostly at the glue joint which in turn reduces the thickness and strength of the hull. You will also be sanding glue at the joint requiring more sandpaper and time. When sanding your hull, you will notice that you are sanding more of the center of the strip which is free of glue. This saves sandpaper and time and leaves a slightly thicker strip - which in turn increases the strength of your hull.
All coves are generous in depth allowing for positive interlocking.
Let each strip dry before gluing the next. This feature allows for easy planking of severe curves with less sanding. You will find that very little force is required to achieve fluid curves of many designs. We would like to point out that strip planking should not require fairing, only sanding. If you have to fair your strips then there may be a flaw in the design of the plans, improper placement of your forms, the strips are too large for the radius, or you have not applied them properly.
