Hello to all. Im about to install my stringers using pl premium. But when i dry fit them in place i nitice the ends of the stringers are touching but theres about a 1/2" gap in the middle. Is this ok or is my hull distorted? I have the cap sitting on the hull now and it seems perfect. The stringers arent warped. I know that no part of the stringers will touch the hull once the pl is applied, but i just wanted to double check. Thanks.

How long is the gap? Is it only on one stringer or both sides?

Most stringer's are NOT straight and have to be custom made/cut ..... ????

I do not think that will be an issue. I have some gaps in mine too and was going to mix up some peanut butter to fill it.
