A temporary sheer clamp clan keep a fair curve *PIC*

Beware that thin plywood does not always maintain a fair curve without a sheer clamp, especially where plywood panels are glued together. When I notice unfair sections, a 1" x 2" board temporararily screwed to the hull will force fairness to the curve when glueing deck and hull together (see pic below).
