S&G: Scratch building the Lo kids kayak

Hi there,

Thanks for the free kayak plans.

I'm scratch building the kids kayak but I'm confused about the instructions mentioning that a hull form is required. Is a form required for the kids kayak? If so where is the template for the form? It isn't drawn out in the plans. If not ,am I supposed to stitch the deck to the hull and then use CA glue on the hull and deck seams, pull the pieces apart after the glue is cured and then glass the parts? A bit more clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really enjoying the process of building the kayaks and I'm only at the stage Of stitching the hull together. I'll be building 2 boats in total for my sons.

Cheers!!!
