Between spreaders in the hull and tape for the deck I was able to
: align things with no problems.

Thanks Dave.

I have some fibre tape on hand that I will wrap the boat in before bonding. In the meantime I have utilized 4 webbing straps plus two other smaller straps to hold the deck and hull together. This allowed me to determine where the hull was out of alignment. For what ever reason the deck seems not to have changed shape like the hull.

Notice that my wine supply (with epoxy snading dust) has been depleted since begining this project!
