I know your pain! LOL I built a Telkwa and the nose and stern are equally difficult. I ended up with 8 different wooden forms and used a 3 inch diameter hard rubber ball with tape with the sticky side out to do the nose and worked well.  It takes time and I ended up with a tiny wrinkle but was able to iron it out to almost nothing. So don’t give hope, it’s possible. When you finish ironing the nose you can turn the boat inside out to get a closer look on what areas you didn’t iron enough too.

Hello from Indiana, and would like to say Thanks again to Matt for helping me out on my Telkwa packraft!
