striperick Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 At a point where I will be glassing the inside of the OB20 Think I seen on Miyots boat he added wood vertical blocks between the stringers and bulkheads. He then fileted both corners. This will definitely double the epoxy required for the vertical fillets. I do not have pictures of the Stringer construction on the OB picture cd. The drawings as best as I can tell specify 1/2" fillet. Are the wood vertical pieces overkill? If it is usefull to add wood ...... what would be a good species for this ? Southern yellow pine ? Cedar? i have some small pieces of mahogany around? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keen2buildagain Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Rick, I don't know if the attached pic shows what your describing, but I added a 45degree cut piece in each corner and the glass went around these quite easily.

Designer Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 You can fillet or fit vertical wood triangles at the bottom stringer frame/ bulkhead intersection. Wood is quicker and just as strong as long as you do a good job and have tight glue lines. I often see gaps in the glue lines which reduces it's effectiveness and creates a path for water ingress. There should be no need to re-fillet the joint if the corner is smooth and gap free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
