: i'm almost done fiberglassing the hull on my strip kayak. Nick's
: book states that you should let the fiberglass cure for
: "several days" before removing it from the forms. Is
: it going to hurt anything if I remove it after an overnight cure
: so I can start on the deck? Thanks for all the help.

you can remove it but at least use spreader sticks to maintain the width. i'd leave it on the forms if possible.

my main problem with removing the hull from the forms is that some areas
along the shear line tend to curl inwards..makes it hard to line up the deck with the hull shear connection
and then you have to fill and sand...adds way too much work.
