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.
