: Hi Todd,
: I have been studying Jay Babinas O.I. and that is how he does it on
: his plans, Jay suggested pine also I am using MDF for my station
: forms and stems (Wee Lassie). What if any is the downside of
: just doing as you suggested with the MDf stems forms?
: I have completed a Panache designed by Rob Macks and he does not
: use external or internal stems. I did not use inside stems but I
: did place a hardwood external stem add on, so my experience with
: inside stems is nil.
: This thought occurred to me also. Can I glue the glued-up external
: stem onto the masking tape that is wrapped along the outside
: edges of the stem form?
: Thanks
: Douglas
The inner stem if used is a permamant part of the finished boat, needs to be a fairly waterproof material, which MDF isn't.
