I posted a question last week about the difficulty of stripping (I'm a real kayak novice) the transition curves from hull to keel. One suggestion was to try steam bending - which seems entirely logical. As you can see from the pic It's the last 3' of the last three hull strips that will not twist sufficiently to conform to the stations - they are fine over the rest of their length.

Should I try starting over by scarfing new tails (to be steam bent) onto those 3 strips either side?

Presumably any glue should only be added AFTER the strips dry-out from steaming?
