Yes, I taped down the edges and once the ribs and keel are laid, I carefully remove the tape. I'll take a picture of one of the more visible problems I had.

Can you see the cut lines on the deck, below the small deck with the MVW logo on it? That deck was one whole piece. However, I hard as I tried, I could not get it to fit fore to aft. I cut it into three sections and was left with these gaps. The second pic shows the problem on the forward that I couldn't adjust. Its not bad, I can live with it.

Again, I do like the build challenges, just not ones of fit.
