Thanks Patrick really appreciate the suggestions. Will let you all know how I get on.

: Pretty common that strips will lift in the area of a tight curve.

: Why not shoot a screw or two into the strips and into the form to close the
: gap. After you've glassed, remove the screw, fill the hole with a peg.

: As a matter of fact, my build has the same problem and has two screws holding
: the curvature in place as i await epoxy and glass shipment.

: In your case you might need to soften the glue bond near the affected area.
: I use a heat gun for that..and a razor knife if needed.
