In Response To: S&G: Ply for sheer clamps???? (Craig Robinson)

: I'm using a combo of shearclamp and tape on my current build. Sheer clamps in
: storage areas for and aft. Can anybody forsee a problem with using 12mm
: ply for a sheer clamp? the outside seam will be taped.
: cheers, Craig

I suppose it would work, would be awfully heavy for the requirements though. And will be tricky to plane to the correct shape, suppose it could be sanded instead. I use WRC and even then it's only 3/4" square.
