Hi Dave

I had this problem on my Guillemot and Guilullemot S. I dealt with it best the second time. I think it is OK to wet the wood, I used a fine spray of water inside and out. Then I warmed it with a heat gun then used a strap clamp and blocks of wood to force the strips into place against the forms. I left it clamped for a few days 'till I was sure it was dry. I also found there were some places where the staples would not hold the strips in place. I dealt with that by using dry-wall screws through bits of plywood. It left a hole to fill afterwards but it kept the strip where it was supposed to be. Hot glue on the inside is probably a better method. Using a heat gun to "train" the strip before you glue it also helps.
