All bottom stringers are properly fastened on today. Since the glue is a gap filler as well as an excellent adhesive, it is somewhat forgiving in joints where the meeting surfaces are not exactly flush. The resorcinol glue that I used back in the 70's had much more of a watery consistency, was considerably less forgiving and the surfaces had to meet with a minimal gap. Aren't technology and new building materials great. In this picture Schuyler is doing the final touches to the joint were the stringer fastens to the stem post.
