I am building a Night Heron on an internal strongback with stapleless construction, and want to learn how other builders separate the deck and hull from the forms after the deck and hull are both stripped. Do most folks simply pry it off and hope nothing splits, or do you glass the hull and loosen it before stripping the deck, or glass the deck exterior and then pry it off, or....?

I'm using hot melt glue to attach strips to forms wherever they don't lay well naturally. On my previous boats I removed most of the hot glue before totally enclosing an area of the deck and then pried the deck off to glass the hull with good results, but perhaps there's an easier way.

Thanks,

John in Dallas (Almost done stripping the hull)
