I need to start taking better pictures. I usually only take them once the day is done and I'm ready to go home. Ill try my best to explain the stringer process.
The stringer tops were cut out to remove the old foam. I made sure to cut inside the radius of the stringer top, because I feel the roundover of the fiberglass add to the rigidity of the stringer. Once it was refilled, I glassed over it, then the placed the plywood on top. The plywood was narrower than the stringer due to the roundover @ the top of the existing stringer. In order for the fiberglass to lay easily between these transitions, I made a fillet with thickened resin. (milled fibers and cabosil) The pdf will better explain what I am saying.
