: How did you get the plane out? Or is it still there?

Hi Scott, I think its still there!!

: I found that, over time, the strips may shrink a little. This becomes
: noticable between the forms where the boat actually gets smaller than it
: is able to at the forms. This gives it kind of a wavy appearance - high
: over the forms and low between the forms. Not a big difference and almost
: impossible to see untill it has a glossy finish.

Well its taken me over a year to get where I am now, so I can only hope that any high spots over the forms will plane out.

If that is not possible
: I would wait and plane later.

Will do, many Thanks for your help

Philip
