In Response To: Re: Epoxy: Warping (paulteather)

Before I applied the carbon to the inside I put a fillet into the hard chine area to create a smoother transition for the carbon fabric which doesn't like to lay down in tight angles.
I had the carbon applied and a fill coat about 6-7 hours later, and then as soon as it was set up enough I put the strong back and forms back into the upright hull, all in one day. At this point, I discover the spread along the shear, and it's uniform all the way down the shear.

Did you trim the forms to allow for the fillet, before you put them back in the hull?
