Subject: Pietenpol-List: how to reinforce stringers so they don't bend when youtighten your fabricHere's a good use for scrap capstrip material. In addition to the normal supports for your turtledeckstringers it's not a bad idea to throw in some T-88'ed (or whatever glue you're using) capstrips in betweenthe stringers. Fabric is powerful when heat shrunk and can make things move and distort unless reinforcedwell.[cid:image003.jpg(at)01CCD5E6.165C3DC0]________________________________________________________________________________
