springback

I'm working on my first stripbuilt kayak. During the stripping process I worked my hardest to make the strips stay in contact with the proper edge of the form. When I removed the forms, the hull sprung out maybe 1/8" to 3/16" of an inch on one side of a couple of the forms. I can't notice it when looking at the hull without the form in there, but I'm wondering how it will effect the tracking? Do any of your boats flex out a little when you remove the forms? Is there anything I can do during the glassing process?

Any info will help. Thanks.
