Wanted to make sure you caught that I put the boron top and bottom while it is still in sheet form and then slice the spar off.

I have a little fixture designed by Aikman that has a blade in it backwards that just pierces the surface of the wood to accept the boron. I will take a photo and post it as it's difficult to describe.

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.
