No, what I meant, or at least the way I interpreted Nick's post, was that you cut the inverted deck forms out of the keel section of the existing hull forms, without removing them from the table. Then strip the deck, upside down, into the cutaway part of the hull forms. When done, remove the deck, reattach the form cutouts with hot melt glue, and strip another hull. For the next deck, just knock out the cutouts again.
