: i'm almost done fiberglassing the hull on my strip kayak. Nick's
: book states that you should let the fiberglass cure for
: "several days" before removing it from the forms. Is
: it going to hurt anything if I remove it after an overnight cure
: so I can start on the deck? Thanks for all the help.

Why would you remove the hull from the forms? I'd let it cure a bit - flip the strongback, with hull still attached - and move on to stripping your deck. Be sure to protect your sheer edge with plastic tape, so you don't have an unfortunate, premature permanent attachment of unfinished hull to unfinished deck. And relax.... enjoy the journey.... don't rush it! You're gonna have to start another boat when you're finished, anyway.
