: I know exactly what you mean Bill. We've just moved nearer, (within
: 15 miles) of our two sons, the
: youngest of which has twin baby boys ( more excuses to build
: boats!) so the build I am half way through
: has suffered somewhat. The deck, which has an outer skin of glass
: has spread through it's whole length,
: up to 1 1/2" at frame 8.I think I'm going to skin the inside,
: then wrap it in tape, pulling it into shape and
: leave it like that 'till I complete the hull. Any thoughts?

: Les C.

Moving sucks .

1 1/2" is quite a bit. I'd wrap it in straps snug and every few days snug them some more, should be able, over a period of time, to coax it back into shape. Epoxy is plastic afterall.
