Re: Rotten wood in Stringers
what Island trader said, This is the lost mold process. Think about a rectangular tube the strength comes from its shape or form.
If you are going to laminate over the top of the existing stringers wipe with solvent, abrade very well with coarse media, wipe again with solvent, I would use several layers of at least 1700 Biax cloth (Biax for structural) and laminating epoxy resin. you will get better secondary bonding with epoxy over polyester or vinylester.
