In Response To: Strip: Transoms on a Coot (David Harbison)

: I am ready to start stripping my Coot, which stands on its
: strong-back with epoxied transoms attached at bow and stern. My
: question is this: Once I finish stripping and pull the staples,
: what holds the transoms on? Do I glue the intersection of the
: strips and the transoms as I go? I know that a fillet and
: fiberglass will do the job ultimately, but after the staples
: come out....?

: Am I missing something?

: Any ideas much appreciated.

Hi David,
As Bill H said, if it's part of the final boat, it gets glued permanently.

Bill,
The Coot is one of Nick's designs. http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/guillemot/node/763/view A pram dinghy.
