Not only dropping temps but in high humidity the moisture will want to stick to everything. Increases risk of epoxy wanting to blush. I avoid epoxy work if temps will be in the low 60s in a 24 hour forecast.

If I did it that way there would only be 3 days in the year I could lay epoxy

you barely have 3 days a year where your tongue won't stick to a metal pole!

Notice they only list a hot season (6 months), no cold season or cool even. But we do have 5 months that are considered "nice" season.
I can afford to be picky on when I sling epoxy or paint!

Been ranging between 22 and 41 here. Not that conductive to epoxy....

I cut all the stringers this evening. I'll epoxy and tape the seams tomorrow night. I should be able to keep my garage warm enough for the epoxy to cure. If I'm going to notch my stringers and frames, should I splice the stringers on one side and then splice the other two stringers on the other side, then epoxy glue the two long stringers together?

The epoxy cured. No problem.

I placed the transom a little earlier. I ran out of 2x4's so I had to temporarily brace the transom. I'll build something more substantial tomorrow. On my plywood cuts, does it matter if it's off a little. The transoms edges overlapped each other a little. I'm assuming this will be taken care of with either sanding or epoxy putty? I guess the stringers are next. I've been checking the cross dimensions and the dimensions between each frame. Everything is lining up. The stringers should go in no problem. The stringers will be cut with notches. I'll have to cut notches in the frames.

What is the transom angle at the DWL? It looks totally square to me. What am i missing?

[fallguy1000]

Sometimes the pictures are deceptive. I also built my transom at 14 degrees to dwl, so that mght impact my perception.

Do you mean splice with fiberglass? The two pieces of plywood used to make the stringer should have their joints offset by a foot or more. Once the two are glued together it is like one solid piece of wood.
