Re: New transom wood - how to hold in place
I did mine from the outside in but I used 1/2 ply that I resin coated then screwed in place with a layer of 1.5oz mat in between each piece of ply, puddying in the corners and voids. I did this 3 times with a final layer of 10/24 on the outside. This hole thing gave me 2 1/4 thick, just the right size for the shoes on the newer outboards. I used polyester resin and polyester putty . Working times are better with the resin and I allways have it on hand in the shop. Plus it seems to work better when you gelcoat the finished project
