Sorry, I figured we were talking about boats. I have put in sister
frames on a wooden boat, and they are not attached to the old frames.

Now I'm curious, when one reinforces a fiberglass structure by putting
on more cloth, is that called "sistering?" Seems to fit the
definition, but fiberglass boat work is generally not given the
respect of using it's own technical terms the way old-time wood woork
is.
