    Default "Spongy" Deck Repair

    I have a few questions:
    1. Is it safe to assume that the stringers go from the front to the back of the boat ?

    2. When referring to repairing /replacing the stringers,
    What is 1708 Biax ?
    CSM ?
    PL Adhesive ?
    Bedding Material ?
    MDO or Arauco = Deck ?
    3. Is this merchandise available on this site?

    4. Is it necessary to "Cap" the tops of the stringers with fibreglass is there an alternative I can use such as aluminum flashing, plastic wood edging as you would use when making tables? Just asking?

    Sorry for being clueless. Thank you ALL for your understanding. Zbishka
