The plan was to line the various mold stations with double sided tape...
Cunning!
Well, not so much... The problem is it simply did not work as the tape did not stick to the molds very well or stick to the strips very well either. Well, unless you wanted them to not hold as in being able to shift a strip in which case they held like a Rottweiler on steroids.
Bummer! Did the unhappy dance and kicked stuff...
The trick to successful boat building and wood butchery is not to get too attached to your chosen plan of attack if it is not working for you. Over the years I have seen boatbuilders reduced to tears trying to get something that was obviously not happening to work. The thing is if it's fighting you go with a way where it does not...
So once I realized the tape was not helping I ripped it all off and went with the tried and true plastic sheeting at the mold stations and while it did not dispense with the need for clamping and adds a certain head banging element it does work.
Fiddly to be sure...
Let the games begin...
