I have read a few posts previously in some threads that talk about the idea of PL poly const. adhesive as an alternative method to set stringers.The flexible yet structurally stable bonding characteristics of this product and ease of application are appealing.
I understand it is important to not have direct contact of wood to hull.
I would be very interested in hearing about experience others might have with this method.
If I go that route once the PL is dry would there be any problem to then cover the wood with fiberglass matting and epoxy to complete the job for stability and integrity of the rebuild?
Would epoxy and PL poly be compatible?
I have attached a photo of my rebuild that shows a few new stringers as well as "sister board" reinforced stringers. The PL appears to be a great means to bond the wood reinforcements before screwing them together.
Advice on these ideas would be greatly appreciated.
