I was thinking of maybe bracing the stringers shell so the foam doesn't make the fiberglass expand or anything like that. All input is welcome. And if anybody could explain how I upload images to this post that would be great also.
This video from Metan Marine shows you how they foam stringers on their builds. See 10:14 - 11:00. You can thank Mike B. for contributing technical information to the site Looks like 2 or 3lb foam to me . . . that's just a guess.
