98. Foil strip was placed copper side down on two sheets of newspaper with the glass serving as a straight edge as well as a hold down. T e amount of strip outside the glass determines how far from the edge the row of rivets will be. T e number of newspaper sheets determines how proud the rivets rise from the foil. T ere are diff erent tooth-count and sizes of pounce wheels. T is one worked well for me.


97. Copper foil taped within the width of the needed strip to a scrap of plate glass shown here. A homemade cutter block rides against the glass edge to produce uniform strips of any size needed. Off cuts of the sheet may be slid away or given a second cut if not taped to the glass.


99. Parallel lines the size of the strips were drawn around the hull using a thin strip of clear plastic as a fl exible straight edge. Strips were laid from mid- lateral line to mid-lateral line across the top and some of the bottom. If they overlapped at the mid line they were trimmed fl ush. T e sides and end edges of the strips were touching and not overlapped.
