Half-inch white cedar accent strips glued in place. At this point I decided that there were a couple points along the strip where they were "dipping" too far down, and so I installed shims between the strips and stations. I did this at stations 8 (1 layer), 9 (2 layers) and 11 (1 layer). Two layers adds about 1/8". These are small adjustments, but they seem to have improved the lay of the strips - anything more seems pretty minor. It's frustrating to have to make these adjustments now, after spending all that time truing the hull side of the strongback...
