Assuming the cores were cut accurately (a pretty good assumption to make) then
provided the jig blocks are set back onto a flat surface and the ailerons &
flaps set on those with no inset or overhang anywhere around the jig block then
any washout that should be there will be there.

When I did mine it was a relief, having produced all the components separately,
and they were all finally hung on the wing - and the wingtip added, it all lined
up just great. There was a slight mismatch at the aileron/flap junction in plan
view by about 1/8th inch but I figured nobody would see it in flight and could
not detect it with flaps down of course. Both wings exhibited this mis-match.
