| In stitch and glue construction can I glass the plywood panels on a flat table before stitching them to shape?

Hi Rowyourboat,
I'm no expert but I have built three in stitch and glue. I guess you could but it may be better to apply it after assembly. Any spannng or opening of the grain or micro defects from constuction are then sealed. Also you may get into issues of rouge and poor adhesion when taping frames and joints. Sounds crazy but it probably is easier to apply during and after the construction.

Thanks for the reply.
Won't I get a good bond if I sand the area where the bulkhead
get,s glued to with maybe 60 grit or less. If you get back to me on this I promise not to be a pest in the future.

Either I don't understand the question, or the answer is no.
I'm building a plywood canoe, and the main idea of fiberglassing is to cover the seams, isn't it?
Since I'm here, any thoughts out there on fiberglassing ONLY the seams or only the outside? I mean generally, not just for a canoe...since my next project is a dory. (Don't tell my wife.)
Also, any experience pro or con with material other than fiberglass? eg polypropolene, kevlar, etc.
