This is from a complete thread on stringer replacement by Bill (skibum)
Posted: 13 October 2007 at 7:12pm | IP Logged | Report Post Quote bkhallpass Here is the shopping list posted by Bill (SkiBum) on March 15. It is from a thread started by Jon4Pres regarding the stringer floor replacement in his 82. BKH To replace the stringers this is a pretty good list of materials: quan item 5 gal Epoxy resin 635 thin 3:1 ratio 1 roll 50 yds 2" E-glass tape 1 roll 50 yds 4" E-glass tape 1 roll 50 yds 8" E-glass tape 5yds Epoxy mat 5qts West 404 filler (fine glass) 5qts Aerosil-Cabosil thickening agent 5qts Fairing compound 25 ea 2" wood paintbrushes 25 ea stir sticks 5 ea 1qt mixing containers 2ea 2"x10"x16' 2ea 1"x6"x12' Each stringer consumes about one gallon of epoxy resin from start to finish. Use the epoxy mat to laminate both sides of the stringers. Seat the stringers with 2 layers of epoxy mat and clamp until cured. Fill gaps with 404 filler and epoxy. Then use 2", 4", 8" strips along the joint. Use 404 and epoxy to make a bead 1" above and below the joint 1/4" to 1/2" thick. That is all it takes to laminate and install the stringers. |

Thanks!!! I pulled out the wet foam and rotted stringers. I think the boat lost about 150lbs just in water weight stored in the foam under the floor.
