> Ah, there are (at least) two ways to slice wood for spars, so I see where the confusion could be. If you slice spars that are to become .034" thick X .063" tall (for example) you could cut from either a sheet .034" thick or from a sheet .063" thick. I use a sheet .063" thick (so that I can sand a taper toward the tips, before boron.) After boron installed (only) top and bottom on this sheet, I then strip off .034" (or whatever) thickness desired with Jones/Gardener/Attyson type stripper. But since you are using Harlan stripper, I assume you start with sheet which thickness is the same as the spar thickness (example .034") Therefore, my method would only access one edge to install boron, and how other builders install boron on the other (newly sliced) edge, I do not know for sure, but it's obviously without too much trouble. I'm sure someone else will step in to answer this.
