: Do I try to adjust them now, or wait until I put the first strip on, then see
: if I'm satisfied with the fairness of the curve?

Put a strip on before declare the forms fair. If you think you are close, lay a strip down and look at it. Actually use several strips. Place one along the keel and others on the sheer to check.

The boat is fair when strips lay fair.
