: This is what I did to correct the problem.

: I wet the strips where they were pulled away from the forms plus 1' past
: those particular forms in both directions. I did this on both sides of the
: keel because both sides had pulled away. Then I proceeded to work the
: joints between the strips till I could detect slight movement in all the
: joints. I then used two ratchet straps and two 2x4 blocks of wood and
: clamped the 2x4's edgewise to each side of the affected area - pulling the
: strips tight against the forms. Then I heated the entire area (hot) and
: left it clamped for two days. I did this on the bow and stern. When I took
: the clamps off, I could not believe the difference in the shape of the
: area as compared to the shape of the Guillemot.(this is the shape that the
: Guillemot SHOULD have)

Hi Charles-
Thanks for the suggestions. How many forms were affected at each end? one 2x4 was enough on each side at each end? about how far off the forms were the strips before you fixed it? and lastly, what kind of glue are you using? I'm using Elmer's Interior; am I correct in supposing that the glue will be loosened and will then reset itself?
