wallyh Posted May 16, 2015 #1 Posted May 16, 2015 I am planning to do a scratch build of the Rattlesnake using Harold Hahn's plans. My question is: can I use a 3/32" sheet plus a 1/8" sheet to make up the 7/32" thick frames? Thanks, Wally Quote
Jaager Posted May 16, 2015 #2 Posted May 16, 2015 Do you plan to fully plank both sides of the hull? Yes. - Then it should do. In making the sandwich, with PVC glue - within reason - higher clamping pressure = stronger bond. Uniform pressure for all sandwiches will yield reproducible results. No - Will it bother you that each displayed frame will have an offset seam near the center with a different grain pattern on each side?
