Strip: Wider than expected *Pic*

I was reading posts in the archives yesterday and something jumped out at me that I had read in Nick's book but completely forgot to do. After fairing, coating, and glassing the inside of the hull (weekend b4 last), I forgot to install any type of restrictors to reduce the possibility of spreading as the epoxy cures. As soon as I got home from work the hull got a quick measurement. At the #9 form placement (Guillemot) the measurement was 22 and 5/8". The rest of the measurements were off significantly as well. I Immediately began the process of placing boards measured to the correct widths in place, pulling the sides back into shape. My questions are as follows:

Is this too little too late?

What is another option should this be ineffective?

What pain reliever is best for screw-up induced headaches?
