In Response To: S&G: An Olde Butt Joint question (Geoff)

: When butt joints are used on Pygmy boats for the long pieces is
: this essentially a temporary "hold" while the
: stitching and gluing occur, followed by the FG sheets (plus
: resin) inside and out which provide the ultimate strength?
They are made with glass tape and epoxy on both sides. I only do the inside so than I don't have the tape to feather out before I apply the glass cloth.
