I sanded all of the drips and epoxy runs. I filled part of the kerfs where the tape for the keel needed to go and I placed three overlapping layers of epoxied tape. The plans only called for two, but I was thinking it would be stronger with three. Might be overkill. I ran out of time, so I had to sand all of the other filets

Looks good. When you tape; avoid laying tapes on top of each other creating a high edge. This creates issues with localizing weakness (next to the higher strength area) as well as difficulty with future laminations.

It could also just be my eyes or the picture.

Stagger the tapes or size them differently to avoid this issue. An example is taping 4-4 offset with a 3" tape in the middle on top of the two offsets. Or 6,4-4 offsets, or 8-6-4.

Sometimes hard to do, but always the best way.

They are staggered. Its just the picture that makes it look like that. There is at least a 2" overlap on each tape.

Back in action. I have everything cut out. I try to do my own research and not ask questions that others have asked. But……I can’t find anywhere in the plans how far from centerline the stringers are? I see how deep to cut the notches based on the stations. Any help? Thanks

[sharkbait2576]

I epoxy glued the stringers this morning, cut the notches on the frames, and braced the transom. I should be able to place the stringers on the frames tomorrow.

Where do you find distance from centerline for stringers. Wanted to quote your post so it’s easier to find. Thanks.

[FluidDynamic]

Look at Frame C on the sheet that shows the cutout dimensions for the frames. It is 12" from the centerline.

All good. Truth is I can't see shit early in the morning. Too much fiberglass sandmen in my eyes.
