I think the answer must be really obvious and you are not wanting to insult my intelligence or lack thereof, but why rebuild stringers from the Inside. Are inside out rebuilds stronger or something. The answer could be my proposal, if executed, will look stupid which is legit. Just curious. If I need to stop asking, I can do that too. Thank you for all the info, truly a great resource.To me, rebuilding them from the inside out is too labor intensive and if the stringers have breaks in them, even worse. Mine had tears and previous rework (by me) so I decided to tear everything out, re-enforce and build new. My boat is like a tank now.
As for the MEK mix, try dividing the resin into small/smaller batches and adjust the MEK by the same divide. You don't want to learn with a quart. Also, keep the lid tight on the poly, it starts hardening the day it is made. You want to buy in small quantities so it's always kinda fresh.
