I just used WRC for internal stems on my Black Pearl. I glued the strip ends right to the stem. Once I glassed the outside of the hull, I took a chisel and trimmed the internal stem down so that it made I nice wood fillet. A bit of rough sandpaper smoothened evertything nicely. There's actually very little wood left and the convenience of having a landing place for the strips was great!!
