Do what I do. Tape blue painter tape sticky side up with tape on ends holding g in place on cutting board. Place PE tree fret on tape, cut. You won't lose PE this way.

I bought some Duran PE nippers. But, these are big enough though. I’m not real sure where they. Probably use bag thing since I’m using the nippers. The tape sounds like it should work well, too.

Yeah... especially when dealing with tiny PE parts.

Funny thing is, they went missing after removal from the fret. Such is life.

A modicum of progress.upper hull is just sitting on lower hull. Playing “paint the white, paint the black, paint the red, repeat.”

Looking good Lyle. Fun watching, but ship builders baffle my mind.
