I started to do this as I was advised on this forum. As I understand it, the purpose of doing a few of the deck strips was to establish the sheer line strip on the deck so it would fit exactly to the sheer strip on the hull, but since I'm not using staples and the hull is held to the forms with hot melt glue, the forms would be permanently captured if they are not broken out while you still have access to them, before the deck starts to get closed in. The deck is not yet joined to the hull and will not be until both are glassed.
