Basic "stitch-and-glue" manual this manual describes the building of a small boat by the "stitch-and-glue" method, also known butt blocks are simply a piece of plywood same thickness as the joining sheets about 8-10” wide (200-250mm) glued on one side connecting both sheets. usually designers who specify butt. Stitch and glue is a simple boat building method which uses plywood panels stitched together, usually with copper wire, and glued together with epoxy resin. this type of construction can eliminate much of the need for frames or ribs. [1]. Stitch and glue on a strong back works very well, especially with designs that have been configured for the method. change always happens and reading asm's request for a 26 footer straight sections boat, has reminded me that the fl 26 might just suit him very well..
Intro: stitch and glue kayak although i had never actually kayaked before. drill. a gallon of epoxy resin and half gallon of hardener from this online site. stranded wire will not work. 30 ft of 6 oz.. When designing a stitch and glue hull for plywood composite construction and all developable panels, how can one predict how the plywood will bend? for example, if a panel of a given thickness is “stitched” to another panel, and the meeting edges of the two panels are curved, are there calculations or tools available to predict what shapes. In order to put the bulkheads (made out of 1/2" to 3/4" thick plywood) in, the boat now needs to be level fore and aft as well as side-to-side. the sheer at the bow is 1'4" above water line and the sheer at the transom is 1' above waterline..
