Hi Dave, Yes I damaged the strip when I removed the gunwale. The porthole was very difficult to remove, and when it freed, although everything was supported the entire panel fell, breaking the strip.
I have some rot around fixing holes, but will now use filler, and refit (glue) the strip. You're right, the glue is actually stronger than the wood!
Thanks for your response...
