Just to be contrary: Nothing is absolutely mandatory. You could use packing tape wrapped around the hull to hold it in place, or glue some temporary cleats to the inside of the hull and to the forms. If you really want to do the glassing later, I'm sure there is a way to do it.

: I believe I will have to fair my haul and deck together to make it look
: right. I have used your method of hot glueing the shears in place but they
: don't hold well on my severe bends because my boat is wide beamed and only
: 12 feet long. What I may do is counter sink screw the shears into
: place,(that makes holes)and then use a plug drill to make matching wood
: plugs to fill the holes when I take the screws out later. I haven't read
: of anyone using plugs. Any comments pease?
