Strip: correcting mismatch before joining

Getting close to attaching the deck to the hull, maybe tomorrow. I have one area about a foot to 3 feet from the bow where the deck is about is too wide. I don't think the tape will hold this together. I'm interested in ways others have fixed this issue. I know I've seen this on the forum but couldn't find it again. I can think of a few things to try:
- glue a spreader in the hull and remove it afterwards
- clamp or strap the area together with some thickened resin
- whatever the forum can come up with.

Thanks for the help,

Phil
