    Hi guys, this is a mor "buildish" issue but I didn't have replies in the building forum...so here I am:
    I will need to put strakes /spray rails (however you want to call them) under a fiberglass hull that will be built with C flex on a male mold.
    My questions are:
    When should I put them in? after the C flex has cured and then cover them with regular lamination?
    After the entire lamination is done?
    What's the strakes building method?
    Do I start from a straight batten triangular in section?
    Thanks for your help,
    federico
