: 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

Not knowing the hull I'd go for two or three strips of 4mm instead of one hunk of 12mm. The CLC Arctic Hawk kit uses two strips of 4mm I believe with a little fillet next to that. The problem I have with a chunk of wood for a sheer clamp is that it is less flexible than just the glassed hull so that whatever curve the hull has near the ends will be affected by a thicker stiff sheer clamp. This may not be as much of an issue if your hull is built around some forms. If it's a four panel s&g I'd definately go with the strips of 4mm.
