Im not sure if this is what ur talking about but are you saying that your spars dont lay flat against the blades? If so, it means that the sparline on the block isn't level, you outta check to see if its flat with a ruler or straighedge.

itself. If the spars are warped or take a set when bent and won't
spring back then you'll need to make new spars from a different
piece of wood.
