I used the excess of this Plank and Clamped down on it with this Clamp and then pressed the #6 Plank underneath it.

The outside Plank protects the actual Strake as it’s being shoved underneath it. Both woods are wet and pliable.

I’m still able to easily press up to #5. Maybe the next one will need a Cheater. You can always “Feel” it… Even though the Planks are wet, you can’t force them too much. 🙄🤔

I think I will work my way UP for a while… 👍
