Outer Island, Stripping Hull from Waterline to Shear
		I started keeping a better record of the time spent on construction on 8/31/02.  It took me 7 hours over two days, 8/31 and 9/1, to complete this section.
		After trimming the cypress strips at the waterline, I added thin strips (approx. 3/16" wide and square edged) of western red cedar and cypress along the edge of the cut strips.  On the first side, I glued both strips on at the same time.  I don't recommend it.  I started gluing the strips using packing tape rather than staples at the bow and moved toward the stern.  By the time I got to the stern, the glue was starting to set making it difficult to squeeze the strips tight.			After the glue dried on the thin cypress and western red cedar strips, I added a western red cedar strip with a bead on one side.
					At the shear line, I stapled a strip of cedar that I will use as a batten to scribe a cut line.  Filling in the strips is easy since I don't have to make any precision cuts.  Any strips that need trimming, are marked with a pencil and cut with my handsaw or bandsaw.  I didn't worry about them running past the bow or stern.
		While the glue dried, it was necessary to use spring clamps to hold the strips to the forms with lots of twist.
					After scribing a line, the excess was trimmed off with a Japanese pull saw.
		Notice that the strips are run parallel without any bend.   No tapered filler strips are needed.
					Before I quit for the day, I trimmed the bow and stern strips close to the internal stem so that the strips from the other side can run past.
		This is a side view of the hull after being trimmed at the shear.  I need to dress up the cut with a fairing board and add one more cedar strip to make up the remaining 1/2" of space to the actual shear line.  I'll wait until I flip the kayak over so that it will be easier to reach.
