: Screw / glue is mentioned as an alternative in the instructions. One problem
: I have found with screw / glue is that the screws can split the plies of the
: cross sections.

Seems I'm a little late to this thread, but seeing as the manual indicates that the stringers are to be (temporarily) screwed in prior to pegging, wouldn't this danger be present with either method?

...or is the splitting something that manifests itself over time?

Could the danger be mitigated by countersinking the screws first?
