     I am restoring a 1948 Lightning sailboat. ( My real boat is steel which
    another story entirely) The boat was double planked and the layer
    BETWEEN the planks was the standard thing they did i.e. A rubbery stuff
    called Bedding Compound as I recall over canvas on the inner layer
    over which the last planks and caulking were placed. I don't believe
    any one does that any more with the advent of stuff like CPS to preserve
    the wood and 3m 5200 to seal and "glue" the 2 layers together. When I
    removed the bottom to redo it I recall thinking what is this stuff.
    Hit me again if you need book names, I am at work and I have a ton of
    reference stuff. russ
