stringer repair for a NEWBIE.........

[70cutlassSX]

First off I want to thank you all in advance for any and all info gathered here today.

So here is the scenario......I found a soft spot in the floor of my 85 Baja Force 220, in removing a section of floor I had discover about 3 foot of my stringer was bad. I know after reading a few of the threads on here I can splice in a new piece. My question is can I use JB Weld wood epoxy in joining these together or do I have to use some other epoxy. I am asking this because I can get a wood epoxy at Home Depot or menards faster than I can thru West Marine or equivelant shops?

Not all epoxies are the same. I'd bite the bullet and order the right stuff to do the job. Quick fixes usually bite you in the behind!!!
