Warren, The Rigging Manual Volume 2, page 9, details the layup when using a cedar form to shape the spreaders. I used the same layup with the NYC Skiffs foam spreader cores, less the unneeded internal mylar and peel ply and wrapped the outside in peel ply, mylar and the foam blank casings. I placed the wrapped assembly on a flat surface with weight applied on top. This created a nice tight trailing edge. Once the spreaders cured, I cut them to length, installed the bushings at the tips and fabricated a carbon collar for mounting the assembly with a 7 degree rake upward. For bonding the spreaders to the collar, I shaped the ends with a 2" drum sander and removed the foam from several inches of the inside to fill with epoxy filler. You might check with Bram for the new recommended sweep measurements for mounting the spreaders to the mast. Below is a picture of my spreader set-up.
