Well, it is for a beam saddle and the areas would get wet. 4799 is good stuff, but so pricey and it seems like rubber cement to me
My deck panels are inch plascore with 44 oz triax, span is 53". The plascore is far flimsier than you okume/balsa core, but the 10 oz is way too...
The glass on the bottom should have been more than 10 oz woven. And a direction change of the fabric, like biax, would have helped. can you take...
I have one quart of the 3m ordered, but have to wait until Tuesday next week!

Another way to reduce the spans and flex is to widen the glue surface. A 12mm ply bulkhead/frame does not afford much glue and is easy to end up...
You have to sample it and decide how much flex you can tolerate. The skins add little, so you can test the plywood alone, then the skins just add...
The raw comparison is a matter of looking at the datasheets.
It is not blown out of proportion. When you ask others a very vague question; it is bound to result in more questions and confusion. The other...
I think some pictures best. Start from farther away and then closer in from same angles. tansl makes a very good comment that overgeneralizing...
We are overthinking it. I think John has the plan.
Sort of confusing to say raising the port is a problem.
So, if you go up 6", doesn't that place them at 20"? Can you also clamshell them on the front side?
How far above the waterline is the trough bottom? Still see no reason for it.
I would only add, a fuel tank is a dynamic weight and dynamic weights are best near the center of gravity or in a planing vessel, there or aft of....
