Won't the resin deform over time? How are the planking strips fastened?

Planking can be glued with CA or other similar type of glue.
From what I have read, most of the deformation comes from incorrectly placing angled of parts in the printer and not curing the resin enough. The problem is that the parts of the hull are very big, so I can't get a good angle, so I have to choose good and bad side of print. The supported side is little bumpy and needs polishing, but not's the real problem. Unfortunetly lower part of frames conected to keel tends to bend anyways and I can't do much about it

The reason I asked is that I once ordered a PLA print, and there was a 5 mm deformation (warping) over a 20 cm span. The part wasn't critical, so I straightened it out using clamps, but I really didn't like the quality.

SZKUTNIK's hull didn't have any deforamtions. It's more a matter of detais we didn't discuss
