I'm striping a canoe, It is fair along the sheer line, But as I am rounding the bilge there is a wow about 3' back from the foot of the stem. My questions would be, (i guess). If I continue will it come fair when I pull the forms?(not likely.) Should I pull the last 4 or five strakes and shim the form that is low? this seems like the most plausible solution to me and it also seems like a real pain, worse yet it is my fault for not paying closer attentiion. Are there any other sloutions that I am overlooking. thanks, Bob
