Yes, the temperature angle - we don't want expanding air in the wood core.

: the fabric set properly before it's wet out, then do the center first and
: work outwards. Doing the center first keeps the glass in place.

Do you allow the center to cure somewhat before moving on to the sides? And do you keep the boat on its keel while doing the sides, or do you tilt it a bit to get a more horizontal area to work with?

greetings,
