In Response To: scaf joint length (Osborn)

If strength is what you desire, the longer the glue joint the better, so yes it matters.
But if you are simply joining two strips together, a Butt Joint or shorter Scarf would be fine. (epoxy and glass will care care of the strength for you, just stagger the joints)

Cheers
