I had wondered about laminating ribs. When building my stripper, I struggled
to get AYC to bend with steam; however, I was impressed by how easily I
could bend and glue up very thin (1/16") stock to make a coaming.
Do you glue them up narrow, or make them wide and then rip to width? Are you
using epoxy?
I have considered making forms from the offsets in Zimmerly (MAE 593-76)...
Thanks for your feedback
Matthew
