T&T: wooden boat rubber coating

[Davignon, Russell]

 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
