Just trying to get things straight...I will be making my curb/edge boards out of (3) 1/4" strips of plywood. My question...do you glue/staple these 3 strips together BEFORE attaching to the framing? Or do I attach one strip to the trailer, then add 2nd one with glue/staples and clamp...later add 3rd strip and glue/clamp? Does that make sense!? Just wondering if glueing all 3 strips together before attaching makes it harder to bend? Thanks for your patience with my myriad of questions!

Don't glue before you put it on the camper. You wouldn't be able to bend it then. I think you need to find Mobiltec videos on how to do this.

Thanks !! I think I got it now. And I meant 1/4" thick plywood- so 3 of them together makes the curbing 3/4" thick. I had planned on making them 1" wide. Make sense? Thanks again- that helped a lot ! kathy

Don't want staples poking down inside the trailer.
