Stitch
& Glue |
|
The stitch and glue method was introduced for
twofold reasons (a) So that designs could be simpler and drawn
without the need of a background of either basic boatbuilding
or drafting skills (b) to save time on building, and eliminate
some of the care needed in making wood joints, as well as remove
the necessity for some of the metal fastenings. The process was
however found to be only suitable short term for very small craft |
|
The introduction of epoxy glue with it's ease
of use 'stronger than wood' and gap-filling properties has generally
made stitch & glue redundant |
