: That sounds unacceptable to me. I'm not sure what you mean by
: saying the center lines match up but I would not want to use
: forms that are asymmetric by close to 1/4". I thought
: buying pre-cut forms was supposed to avoid this kind of problem.

: Ric

Thanks for the reply Ric. What I mean is I have all the centerlines are lined up straight down the length of the kayak, but if you measure over from the centerline to the sheer line on some of the forms the distance is not equal from one side of the form to the other. I thought buying precut forms would avoid this kind of problem too!!
