: I would leave the staples in until you are ready to sand and fair
: the hull/deck. After you fair and sand the hull/deck, I would,
: as soon as possible, start fiberglassing the kayak.. If you
: remove the staples, the sheerline/sides of the kayak could flair
: out. I know here in Florida, the humidity has caused me fits
: with a warping strongback, flairing sides, warp
: boards/plywood....you name it I had to deal with it. You are
: probably ok with the hull or deck off the forms for a couple of
: days. But just in case I made cross braces the same width as the
: stations, and installed them anytime I had the hull or deck off
: the forms/strongback. I still had some warping of the deck,
: bowing upward on the ends about 1/2 inch in the center of the
: deck., even after i fiberglassing. This was easily corrected
: when and sealed the hull and deck together with strapping tape.

I think you should get a few rolls of insulation, a propane heater, and a CO monitor. Then go kayaking in the spring. :)
