RE: Volvo 70 Ericsson Build Log
Strip planking...lots of cutting and shaping of strips, and gluing long thin edges with balsa glue. Notice that the profiles are covered with masking tape. This was done so that I could spot-glue the strips to the profiles to hold their shape properly without pins or staples. Ok, yes there are pins in some of the photos, but these are only there to hold while the glue dries. Once the hull gets glassed, the shape will hold itself, and the profiles will come out easily, just being glued to the tape.
The 3rd photo is completely planked and sanded smooth.
