1708 mat for stringers

[tartuffe]

Here are a couple pics, one is before bedding and the other shows a test fit of the cap but you can see the layers of tabbing from the ink I marked the glass to cut the widths. See how nice that radius is....pretty proud of that

that is some nice craftsmanship you did right there. What did you use to apply the PB under and on the edges of the stringers?

[tartuffe]

Big zip lock bags with some duct tape on one edge then cut the corner off to make it like a pastry bag to squeeze out like icing. Smoothed the radius with plastic spoons.

makes sense. thanks. This is off topic for this thread but how many sheets of ply did you use for your transom?

[tartuffe]

2 sheets of 3/4" marine grade ply, birch. You just can't get two transom cut-outs out of 1 sheet. Very close but not quite possible.

So your ply in your transom is 1.5"? I was way overkill thinking 4 sheets. for 3 inches of ply.

2 sheets is fine, that is what the factory originally installed.
