: I set the deck of my Cirrus on the hull last night and found a misalignment.
: This problem is centred around the rear hatch where the hull is ~1/2"
: narrower than the deck.

: I installed some spreaders last night in the hull. I ran a search on the BB
: regarding spreaders and found that a number of people accept the fact that
: the hull may compress inwards after glassing and that they trim the deck
: accordingly.

: Will spreaders have any effect on well cured glass and epoxy after say a
: week? If I tape now with the spreaders in I am concerned that the tension
: on the hull will eventually separate it from the deck.

: Some ideas would be appreciated.

: grant
I would not cut the deck. I would use the spreader and have done so on the stripper and the S&G. If my bad memory serves me the stripper took about 5 spreaders.Take it slow and the glass will creep with the stress,a hot day will help also.If the line are fair you are good to go.
