Full stealer:

Use temporary pins to hold lower plank ‘B’ to bulkheads. Top plank ‘A’ is also pinned. Shaped stealer is pinned over the top of planks ‘A’ & ‘B’. Trace around the stealer then remove the stealer and ‘A’ & ‘B’ planks. Cut outlined shape into ‘A’ & ‘B’ planks, fit to check for accuracy and glue in place.

Half stealer:

Temporarily pin plank ‘A’ to be checked into position. Pin half stealer over plank ‘A’ and trace the outline. Remove and cut outline. Refit and check for accuracy, glue into position.

A half stealer is fitted in the same manner except only one plank, the lower plank is effected not the upper plank. It is the same procedure as for a full stealer but only half the width of a normal plank.
