The boat is already together.

When I glassed the inner side of the deck it was perfectly straight.
2-3 days after glassing the far aft deck gradually became curved again. Bulging toward the inside. Not any where near as bad as when it was unglassed before drying.

How does that match your theory about epoxy shrinkage?
Seems like if the epoxy shrunk on the newly cured side it would have bulged outward on the top.

When you did your experiment did you glass and epoxy or just epoxy?
