I've been researching info on this very topic, and found a video produced by ShipShape TV. Although this video is about a specific product, the narrator mentions that wooden stringers should not be touching the hull directly (that part is towards the end of the video):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Muf7G3T7Z8 As RidgeRunner already mentioned, the bedding compound serves the purpose of keeping the stringers off the hull. I like the idea of putting small spacers (kinda like shims) between the stringer and hull before bedding it down. That would prevent you from accidentally pushing the stringer too far into the bedding compound. What kind of thickness would be appropriate? I'd guess 1/16", or would you want as much as 1/8"?

On a side note: The host from Ship Shape really gets on my nerves for some reason.

Factory stringers in my 74 are spot glued every foot or so. Read a thread on a forum lastnight that said a guy who has been building boats for 30 years has never heard of the floating or spot glueing stringers I thought that was kinda odd

I'm the same way...can't hardly stand to watch him cuz he's such a WEENIE...problem is that weenie knows a LOT about boats and his guests are TRUE EXPERTS in their fields...so I endure him to glean the info he offers up...his show is what lead me to a prop solution back in 2004 tryin' to match a honda motor to a V-20...called his company after seeing a Honda tech who told me which prop to use...NAILED it...  And this IS a great thread on stringers...thanks, Vic and others for the info!!...

here's a good tutorial with pictures on bedding and tabbing and glassing.....but basically it goes, raise the stringer and bed it in and underneath with resin putty.....make nice wide transition fillets and tab it in with 2 or 3 layers of 6 inch wide 12 oz tape first, then cover the whole thing with 2 or 3 layers of 17oz biax
