: I used the hot glue to hold key pieces to the forms. And I used it
: to hold the the deck sheer strip to the hull sheer strip. The
: last thing I did with it is the center lines and a curved piece
: on the deck that runs from the center down around the cockpit
: and back to the center. Mine tend to work loose and/or get soft
: when it's hot out.

Hot glue isn't structural, it's a temporary way to hold things together so the good glue has time to set.
