: Putz does recommend epoxy + screws where the frames attach to stems or
: floor/deck crossmembers. I do plan on doing this. What I was referring to
: was the screwing of frames/stringers to the forms as a temporary means of
: holding them in place. When the hull comes off the forms, the screws come
: out, leaving holes and presumably stressed wood.

: Bill Price

How about hot glue and small nail? Drill holes in the form and use strong polyester string to tie the stringers to the forms, What do you think?
