    That wouldn't necessarily increase the maximum curvature but would reduce the thickness of stringer necessary to achieve it, which should make the bending easier. It occurred to me that the panel could be placed upside-down on the opposite side of the building mold for attaching the stringers then flipped over to the other side of the mold for hull assembly. That would save having to make a special jig for the pre-induction step.

    I wouldn't be able to use Titebond III as I usually do for stringer attachment as it is subject to creep, or so I have read, so it would require epoxy.
