Hi Mike

I recently had a similar problem. I pressed my strips in very tight between some forms and ended up with the strips bowing out between a couple of of them. I removed 5 strips full lenght by running a razor knife in the joint just deep enough to allow me to begin wiggling the strip back and forth. They came off pretty easy and in good shape. I sanded the old glue off and reused them. I think my error was using to much force.

During my first build I cracked my hull in a couple of places trying to remove it from the mold to early. I let the seal coat of epoxy be the glue that bonded these cracks. Worked like a charm.

In both cases taking the time to make a proper repair at least the best I knew how helped in the long run.
