Ok so i looked everywhere for this information. and i know what my options to bed my stringers with and to leave about a 1/4" gap between the stringer and the hull. I saw a video made by Friscoboater he used 1/4" pieces of foam to sit the stringers on to make the gap and put PL. but my questions are as follows.
do u put down the PL (or PB i havent decided which one yet) and sit the stringers right on it while its wet or do u put the stringers down and then fill the gaps with the stringers already in place? and wouldn't gluing it (or using PB) to the hull create a hard spot?
second question some spots where my stringer sits on the hull is on an angle. do i option 1(white in picture) cut the bottom of the stringer on that angle to get the 1/4" gap everywhere or option 2 (Blue in pitcute) leave it and have either 1/2" gap on the outside and 1/4" on the inside, or option 3 (red in picture) 1/4"outside and almost no gap inside?(heres the Picture to better understand)
Third question if my gap is more then 1/4" do i just use PB to fill the gap still or i saw someone use expandable foam or even a peice of pink panther foam?
And last Question the side of the stringer touches part of the hull as shown in the picture, does that need a 1/4" gap too? see picture
Thanks in advance for the help and sorry if these have been answered before i've been racking my brain for hours reading different posts and articles and my brain was about to explode. also i haven't done any grinding yet i'm still kinda in the gathering information stage before i begin.
