: Well now, this raises another question for me. There's no doubt that epoxy

: wood, would it make sense to "stitch" the strips together with
: something like Wood Molding Glue, say a dot every 6 inches, so that the
: saturation coat of epoxy will be able to soak into the seams between the
: strips, bonding them together?

Didn't someone post here recently about building a boat with no glue between the strip? IIRC, he stripped the hull without glue, did an epoxy fill coat to tack everything together, then glassed it. I don't recall, but I assume that he must have used staples.
