WELL i got my transom glassed in, i reinforced the forward bulkhead w two layers of 1708, and i made the new stringers. I am waiting for the VE to fully cure before i grind again for the new stringers.

I dont know how you guys are doing the wet on wet fillets, i just could not do it everything got way to messy

huh i just noticed the lamination on my stringers is coming part, wtf i think i actually used too much clamping force and all the resin was squeezed out. Im thinking of corebonding the two peiced of 3/4 plywood together now instead of using mat

it is possible to use to much force and drive the resin out, its not like wood glue where clamping force improves the bond. you can use CB instead of the mat.

Space between the main stringers is 26.25" sparky. I'm using a GIL offshore mount.
