After working for the winter on my rotten balsa cored hull, this idea has been presented:
Could you remove all of the balsa core from the hull, increase the hull thickness with 1708 or CSM, and then add stringers and bulkheads where there were none before?
I realize a possible increase in weight, but would it be feasible? I am NOT contemplating this on my present rebuild, but with the wealth of knowledge on the forum , I am interested in your ideas/ opinions/comments- might be an option if youn want to save that rare hull!
