I realy belive the only to get a great fit is to slide several cut outs (cut out's must be from form pattern ) over the yack with a little force. .The compresion of the outer form will pop the hull into place and the yack pressing aginst the form has to conform to the shape of the form it has no where else to go ,then tape the inside remove form's you have it.Rick
: I'm joining the deck to the hull on my Spring Run this weekend. In the
: middle, the deck is about an inch wider than the hull. I can squeeze the
: deck with strap clamps but spereading the hull is not as easy.

: I'm thinking of inserting the bottom halves of forms into the cockpit, but
: fear they will get in the way of taping the interior.

: I'd appreciate any tips (and photos) on how to spead the hull.
