I was thinking of using a bunch of pl glue and fileting the edge with the excess, then coming back with 1708 oooorrr rubber 1/8" spacers and thickened resin to bed it and fillet.

It looked like you left the bottom 1" of your original stringers glass to hold the new in place, is that right? If so, did you leave the entire channel or just pieces to hold the stringer in place?
Numerous guys I talked to in the begining used pl. I was gonna go that route simply because I didn't know much about additives and thickners. After doing more studying and research I learned to use thickeners. I would cabosil your resin and glue it like that,then make your fillets with the same mix then layup your glass. My stringers are bullet proof using that method. Your pl wount do ya much good as fillets in my opinion. I'm am no professional either

Heres the t-top i purchased. Yes its old school and has a boxy design but its built like a bull moose! but for 200.00 dollars im not gonna complain.

Ya, yer right...that blue trash can in the background does have a boxey look. As to the T top, it just looks sweet,...and at a really good price too. Congrats on a smart purchase!! :clap:

Not bad, not bad at all. Try coastal canvas down in morehead (maybe Harkers Island) when you get ready to buy the canvas top. He was cheaper than anythig I found online and he takes alot of pride in the grommets and stitching. Tons of colors to choose from although I recommend the Pirates purple with gold thread.

Yea I'm gonna paint white. I'm doing my aluminum prep and primer research as we speak. And yes I'm gonna white,white frames on t-tops look awesome. I think I'm gonna give a hard top a go! I'm gonna make my own. I'm researching light core material also as we speak..

Actually you'd probably want an off-white of some description...What color you gonna put on the boat?

A canvas top would be much LIGHTER which is a certain consideration on any 20' boat...

I have a buddy that does tops,curtains and apolstry. His name is Charlie Petty with Petty Marine. He would do the canvas for me. My boat is gonna be Fighting Lady Yellow(sides) white vc performance epoxy(bottom) and Off white inside the boat

Proper primer for aluminum is zinc chromate. Two coats, first coat up and down, second coat side to side..that way there are no highlights. There are several other types also, including epoxies, but the US Navy uses zinc chromate ... and most of their equipment seems to get a lot of salt usage for some reason.
