I was wondering the same thing when replaceing stringers ,,They allways say dont have any HARD SPOTS when replaceing them or your hull could blow apare while you are hitting the waves ,,,I could never understand what "they" meant by NO Hard Spots... Some things i read even says to leave a void between the hull and the bottom of the stringer while others have said lay down a heavey bead od 5200 construction adhes. ,,and i seen also where they dig out all the wood in the stringer and leave the fiberglass sides and fill the strings void up with the same stuff they use for the trasom ,, the hole stringer rebuild thing seems to be very very confuseing to me,,,, I Know we got some real fiberglass pros on here maybe we can come to a "THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT procedure" like what epoxy,,, what filler,, what mat,, etc ,,,,,With step by step instructions like fiberglass for dummies
