: I am glad I read this forum while I am building my latest boat. I
: had just put the fill coat on the inside of my hull, and was
: about to call it a night. I remember this thread and put the
: deck on to check for warping. Sure enough, the hull had curled
: an inch or two while I had the outside glassed and the inside
: raw wood. No big deal while the inside glass was still curing,
: as I just popped in a few of the forms and it straightened right
: out. If the glass had setup with the deck off by a few inches,
: this would have been a much bigger deal.

: bvs

Spreader sticks, they hold the hull to shape while the glass cures and don't as easily get stuck like forms tend to do.
