After that was constructed we wrapped it in 6mil plastic and stapled it down tight.
Here are a couple of shots:
We have 5 layers of woven roven in the stringers and all of them were generous wetted out with 2:1 slow epoxy.
The method of the madness went like:
6 oz
18 oz
24 oz
18 oz
6 oz
All of this was "cinched" down and heat lamps were applied for remainder of the night.
Here are a couple of pics of the process and finished 1/2 of a stringer (plan is to make 8 of the these for the 4 stringers):
Time and spouses have kept us out of the glass work for the this week, but will be posting another stringer update once all of them have been created and put in.
Still waiting on the estimates for the gas tank...if you know a fabrication shop please shoot me an email.

Damn dog, you are on a mission. THink this boat will end up being commercial grade when all is said and done. Hope the fumes haven't gotten to ya yet. Guess we'll see as you progress, nice job, it's the journey not the destination...
Oui Oui! On a fishn mission...and hope to be conducting trials this summer...Sanders wanted near March.
I just found this blog, and I am very interested in how you created the stringers, but i see the photos are gone. Anyway you could repost them? I am hoping to get some ideas for myself, I know this is an old post, but I hope you are still keeping up with the comments and have pictures. I would really like to see all of the pictures if you have them. thanks!
