| Composite Lumber, 3 questions ??? Hi, Dry for this summer and new to the forum. But, I have read many threads and links regarding repairing decks, bulkheads and stringers. I am in the process of doin so myself. 22' Aerocraft cuddy, 26 years old...The question I have: Has anyone ever tryed using the composite (home deck/patio) lumber material for stringers or bulkheads? It would seem as a perfect repair alternative product. They have no rot/moister problems do not warp, screws hold for pedastals, etc etc. I was thinking of using them for floor support ribs and around the gas tank.2nd question is: Do epoxy resins stick to the stuff? 3rd. Is that "great stuff" yellow foam OK for small voids? Thanks Eric |

| composite (home deck/patio) lumber Stuff like Trex lacks stiffness and is very very heavy, does not hold screws. Conventional wood will work just fine . We HAVE used Azek as wood replacement for trim. Works fine and is really EZ to machine., But again not strong at all. FAST FRED |
