Ayuh,..... Hi All,.....

I'm lookin' for a brand/ product to stick glass covered plywood "into-place" that sets up quickly, 'cause some of these, I'll be holdin' by hand, til it stays, so I can then glass into place, with cloth, 'n resin,.....
Something that sets in like 5 or 10 minutes, rather than hours,....

The glass, 'n resin might be put in later that day, or some days later,.....

The barge I'm workin' on is more of an egg-crate design typa stringers, 'n bulkheads,....
No stringers runnin' the entire length,....

Need to place parts of the framin' in the hull, not a frame that can be mocked up, 'n glassed together,.....

Use PL Premium but it needs about three days to off gas.

Ayuh,..... I've got a T-50, 'n a selection of monel staples,.....

I was thinking the structural 1" staples in a pneumatic nail gun. I think the longest T-50 is 9/16"

Ayuh,..... I "Think", I can get the bits, 'n pieces into place with what I've got, 'n maybe a screw or 2,.....

Will be placing some gussets today, hopefully the stringers by Sunday,.....

For placement, the stringers will be hung from the bottom of the deck, then I'll glass 'em to the hull at their bottoms,....

Just need to hold 'em straight, 'n true to glass 'em in,.....

What I did to hold mine is I took some scrap wood and cut them to span the hull and sit lower than the stringers by 4" and then figured out position of everything and cut notches to hold stringers. I trimmed for height too. Then with everything test fitted several times knowing it would go together without issue I removed braces, mixed my pbutter set stringer and replaced support. Deal with fillet and Let cure. Then same on other side. It did work well. I had sharpie marks and jig sticks to know I got all where I wanted it so when it went in for real I didn't have to think or measure.

Good news is, I'm done guttin' it, 'n have turned the corner to rebuildin' what's left,.....

Transom is done, now focused on widenin' the stringers, 'n movin' the motor forward,....
