Halo forms *Pic*

If the problem is strips pulling away from forms, here is one solution. The Redfish Silver has a slight concavity at the bow, and the pic shows halo forms and ratchet straps applied to snug up the strips during the gluing operation. Make sure the halo forms line up with the strongback forms. If your strips are glued already, wet them down to soften the glue, strap it all down for a couple days, and pick up where you left off.
