In Response To: Re: Strip: joining the halves (george jung)

: I wondered about simply putting both the hull and deck back on the forms,
: still on the strongback, until the epoxy had 'aged' a bit. Will the boat
: still fit on the form/strongback, after adding that internal FG/epoxy?

Prior to glassing the inside it needs to be faired to achieve a fairly smooth surface to glass onto. The fairing process removes more material usually than you'd add with the glass so the glassed hull fits the forms just fine.
