what are some substitutes that I can use for a stringer? I can’t find anything for my EPS project im starting, but what if I just went stringerless, how much would that help, or not?
If you can’t find some plywood or solid wood at a HomeDepot store, try the local meat market for some butcher paper. Epoxy resin on either side, cured, will hold the rocker and add some amount of stiffness.
You can go without, but might need a more advanced rocker table to hold the rocker when you glass.
Substitutes for a wood stringer???
Carbon, fiberglass, Aluminum, stainless, PVC…
You can " I " beam the blank with fabric or make a stringer out of a sandwich construction…
ie:carbon, glass, aluminum, glass, carbon.
Use your imagination…
go stringerless and use channels
check the archives on Rail Channels.
I want something that will hold the rocker I want while shaping, because im going to bend it in wiht the foam, and ws hoping to glue it to something to keep it there, and so it would be less flexy when I was shaping, but I think Imight try the butcher paper and epoxy thing.
