Hi Doug, I plan to install at least a woodstrip front bulkhead in my Guillemot so I can install a foot pump on it.
I think a wide band of glass tape under the bulkhead will help. If you think about it, stress risers could happen right at the edge of the bulkhead. Bulkhead=very stiff. Hull=relatively flexible. With one or two extra layers of glass cloth right under the bulkhead, tapered out to nothing 2-3 inches from the bulkhead, you've spread out the area of stress so there isn't an area of high stress differential.
: Anyone have any ideas of how to make / install a wooden bulkhead in such a
: way as to not create a stress riser?
: I have not been able to find any solutions I felt were good and wanted to
: find a good alternative to using the minicell foam.
: Doug
