The space on new forms should be 5/8" it gets a little bigger the more you use the forms as the bolt holes get stretched and the hose gets broke in if the gap is too big the hose will try to roll . Places like fade outs, limb tips, and the handle sections you can apply small pieces of wood above the hose to make a tighter fit .
 All surfaces should be cleaned with acetone, wood and fiberglass, the difference between using it and not using it is the difference between a clean glue up and a dirty glue up if you use a clean white cotton cloth you will see whats on the cloth even after just grinding out the lams. Actone does not hurt the wood it does not bring up the oils it washes them off . Woods like coco bolo and bocote you have to wash alot and the more you go over it the lighter color the glue surface gets as the oils come off . I use 70#s of air pressure .
