I canvassed the insides flat and then ran an 8" wide strip of canvas along the inside corners to tie the sides together after assembly. Assemble the parts quickly if you canvas the insides first: the sides and top will warp if covered on only one side and are left to dry for a couple days.
Thank you! You have no idea how much this means!
My re-thought was not to pre-canvas the interior. Mainly do to dealing with Gorilla glue and spillage/foaming on pre-finished material. Then the thought of reinforcing the joints with a strip of canvas first kinda made sense to me. It was a Light-bulb moment of the boat building I helped with. Doing the chines first.
Again, thank you for you advise!
