: joe better ignore my post then.

: when you take your section cuts then, after the thickest or widest general
: area of the yak from the bow, do you account for some form thickness (
: like do you make the next space 12 5/8in ")or just not worry about
: it? or do you cut a happy average and ctr the ply forms on that?

If one form is at 12" and the other is at 24" the spacing is 12" regardless of form thickness. This is measured center-to-center or frontface-to-frontface. If you are measuring the distance between adjacent faces it will be less.
