Somehow I have that complex emotional response that more typically happens when you're thanking someone for pointing out that your zipper's down

Full text (if it takes this time!):

The Spring Run hull is stripped and glassed inside and out, and the deck's stripped, over an internal strongback. As things have shifted around a bit, there are gaps here and there up to maybe 1/4" between deck and hull. Traditionally, I'd glass the exterior deck, then remove it from the forms and glass the interior. Later, when actually assembling deck to hull, I'd jury-rig whatever's necessary to get them properly mated. I'll note that the deck is stapleless and lightly tacked to the forms with hotmelt as necessary, a la Rob Mack's comments.

The alternative that comes to mind is to (gently!) remove the deck from the forms and the forms from the hull, mask off the hull, mate them accurately and start glassing. Hotmelt-attached pegs at the hull sheerline might be a way to accomplish this. Has anyone tried a similar approach? Does it seem promising or a recipe for disaster?

Previewing, posting, and rechecking after posting, TIA for any reactions.
