: Hello,

: I have run into my first problem building my first Kayak (a
: Guillemot Double).

: I created a new internal stem for the stern, and when I installed a
: test strip, I noticed a significant gap between the strip and
: internal stem. I am not sure what to do to fix it. Take a look
: at the pictures below. Each has a comment. The last picture has
: the questions.

: Thanks in advance.

: Mike

The bevel you plane onto the internal stem has to at least sorta match the angle of the strips will meet it. Still if you staple at the point where they meet it'll work, just later after it's stripped, fill in the gap with thickened epoxy.
