Hull and deck lifting off forms

I am close to glassign the hull and deck however they are both springing off the forms quite badly around the shear line. Is this common? How do I fix it? Is it OK to use hot melt glue? Once the outside layer of glass is on and the epoxy is cured, will that be the end of the problem or do I need to be carefull until the inside is glassed as well?
