In Response To: Strip: contraction/expansion (Chuck)
: I glassed the outside of the hull, let it dry for 2 days on the forms then
: removed it from the forms and placed it on the concrete garage floor.
: Now it's 2 weeks later....
: Last night I noticed the hull sides have contracted(shrunk min. 2 inches)so
: that the forms will no longer fit. Not good. How can I get the hull back
: to the correct shape?
Get a bucket of water and a sponge and WET down the wood surfaces until they expand back
to the dimensions you want. Don't worry about over wetting. You'll be surprised at how much
water you'll apply to get it back in place.
All the best,
Rob
