This is my first S&G effort and it is going well. The deck is on and I have a slight cosmetic flaw on the prow to about 12-15 inches back. The curves are no the same fair. It is very slight but I'll have to look at it when I paddle. The hull is looking good waterline wise. PMO... I had one panel that was really twisted nasty and I kept massaging it during construction but I'm blaming that piece for the flaw. I wasn't paying attention again or I would have probably caught this.
I'm thinking that I can razor saw the one shear edge on the glue seam, and push the curve into the panel, reglue, get clamp creative. Then shape/shave the new overhang to get the fair matched more closely. I plan to paint the hull anyway.
I can't really see any potential for damage but my experience lacks or I would'nt be writing this.. If I do this it has to be now. What do you all think...

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about fairing the hull unless it affects performance drastically. No one else will notice the "flaw" once you're finished because they'll be in awe of the boat's general beauty.
I personally see every flaw in my boat, but tend to think of them as characterfor the boat and things I'll learn from on my next (upcoming) build.
