Delamination between Hull and Cabin Sole

Maybe you can do it either way. I learned from Paul Ricelli. Relatively small to large and overlap. I built my engine stringers and the bulkhead that hold up the aft cabin wall that way. Haven't moved in a decade. Tabbed inside cabin sole this way. No issues in about 15 years. I had a couple of holes to fix where I took out thru hull transducers in favor of the in hull type. Started small and went progressively larger. No problems. I made a mistake and built a hard spot into my side deck years back and the paint cracked at a forward bulkhead. That was the scary one. PAR told me to grind the hell out of it (about half way through the ply deck I think), start filling it with chopped up glass and resin until it was just a small dip. I started to then fill the dip, smaller pieces to larger. Just 4 oz. cloth. Worked out fine.

Just my two cents. I miss that guy.

of course you can, but the greater point is the fact the timber is broken off the hull has been glossed over and the fact that it requires proper tabbing is as well

Noone even mentioned the requirement to remove the timber and instead we are talking about how to tab properly when there isn't even a tabbing plan mentioned by anyone; including me!

And the OP hasn't been back to ask the question on how many ounces of tabbing, or to show us the bigger picture..

Good point about the OP but she could have checked the thread without logging in. A little better look at the whole area would help.
