Most of the time the deck doesn't distort too much because it's quite flat. It's the hull that will distort. Once you glass the inside of the hull and the epoxy has hardened to the touch. put some forms in it and strap them tight so it holds it shape. I usually place around 4 in the center areas. Doing this is an absolute must.
