: hi Patsy;
: i put brass stem bands on my wee lassie. they look great! do a thick fillet
: in the bow and stern where the brass will be, pre-drill, and pre-thread
: with a steel screw. brass screws are too weak to cut threads. dip the
: screws in thickened epoxy before you put them in.
: daren.......

Great advice. Thanks. I've got to decide what width I'm going to use and get my brass ordered.
