Premature Panic

I posted a message about glue not working on the wood I just milled. Thanks to all for replys. What seems to work is just waiting 4 days instead of hours. Scarfs from the weekend can bend today without breaking. Cove-bead joints break in the wood, not the joint. What's my rush anyway? My next issue is aligning the forms. I stapled 18" strips to the layout lines and am trying to make them all hit a string. Ideas for other techniques - lasers not an option - would be appreciated.
