I have not tried to do scarf joints in a boat that I am about to plank.
Probably more from fear of failure of not being able to do it and screwing up a lot of material.
The plan is to use butt joints with a backing piece.
Question is how to size the backing...

Thickened epoxy is your.
Do a few practice scarfs on some cheap stock.
The worse scarf joint in the world will be better looking than the best butt joint.
Not be works of art to be structurally sound.

I epoxied my chines and let them set up overnight at 70 plus degrees. The next morning we had them clamped to the frames and at some point during the next night one of the scarf joints partially failed. as of now have re-glued and clamped and will let...

GD is right on! Let that joint cure at least 24 hrs.
Chines puts one heck of a lot of stress on a scarf joint! I would not recommend mechanical fasteners in a chine scarf joint.

I am plugging a couple holes and want to do this right. It appears that scarfing is nothing more than opening up the hole around the edges so the fiberglass has more to "bite to" as compared to a butt joint, correct?
If so then I assume a scarf ratio ...

In my planned Strip planked hull project, I just realized that the length of the strip planks required are larger than commercially available lumber lengths. This means I may have to scarf the planks.
I'm sure that I probably would not want the scarf-...

This post should supersede my last post. I scarfed together 1/2 inch ply and didn't realize in poor lighting that the joint should have been pushed closer together. The overall effect is that the scarfed area is about a millimeter thinner than the rest...

That thinning of the joint could have been used to hide a fiberglass tape.
Thanks.
Kevin Wiping tears from my eyes; I sawed the scarf in half last night and am to be done.
Carry on, fair and fill.

Hello,
I need to join two short sections of skirting board to make one long

I just put up white crown molding. I used angled (45 degree) scarf
joints where two pieces meet along a wall. I matched the joints very
carefully but slight differences in the elevation of the two sides
seem magnified. I've tried caulk, wood filler...

#2 - If you must, scarf that joint at 30, it sounds like you scarfed them a hair
too long.

I've got to join some 1x8 mahogany to "make them longer" for
converting a full size bed into a queen size. (That's a different
issue.)
I know how to make a scarf joint but am not sure on the angle other
than the more surface the better. From a realistic...

Alternatively you could join them at ground level (assuming you and a
mate can lift a full-length run into place).
Then you could aim for the joints to fall between rafters...

Had a tip to make scarf joint more longer i.e.
A waterproof glue and the scarf joint, then if it ever does
open up, the glue should ensure the ends.
