: I often have unfair areas on a stitch and glue hull before joining
: to the deck, especially near sloppy scarf joints. My solution is
: to attach a temporary gunnel to the hull using drywall screws to
: force a fair curve. The gunnel is removed after joining with the
: deck. Works great. If the unfair area is really big, it's
: probably best to fix it before working the inside of the hull.

I avoid the problem by gluing the inwale to the sheers while they are flat, which ensures a perfect full-length joint and stiffens the planks enough that they stay fair around frames and molds.
