Stringer lamination Question, Glass Dave?
 
I stringers are tacked in with a speck of resin. There are many stringer braces I call bukettes (mini bulkheads/braces) I can:

1. glass the stringers first then add bulkettes later. (have to deal with positioning , levelness etc.)

or

2. tack all pieces in first, then start glassing, Allow everything to be perfect but more effort to go around the bulkettes. (not a straight shot)

I glassed my stringers first then did the ribs second. I did the whole thing in one night to get a better bond as the resin was still tacky everywhere. Much stronger like this because the 90 degree tabbing on the stringers is unbroken all the way across the hull.. same idea as an i beam sort of. I bedded the ribs in with corebond creating a fillet radius at the mating surface then i went laying glass over them wet on wet... its hard to do because of how quick the corebond kicks off but doable.
