Going stapleless or tackless does make this a slow process. One strip at a time. And waiting half hour to 45 minutes till the next strip makes it awkward unless you live where you work.
The stripping is quite uneventful from here on, until you start to get over the bottom. The part of the canoe where there is the most concave. I'm just starting to hit this area in the photos and now the strips are starting to twist as they go from almost vertical at the bow and stern to more of an angle near the middle. Eventually they will flatten out as I approach the 'football'. I use surgical tubing or, 'slingshot tubing' at the front where the most clamping is required.
