Just so I'm sure I understand the process you described: if I wanted to rebuild and raise a transom from 20" to 25" (for example) from the inside as you described, after the old wood is out, I'd taper the inside edges of the existing glass along the old 20" height line, install a temp backing board on the outside, infill the old engine cutout with glass so the face of the new glass surface is flush with the inside face of the existing transom's outer glass skin, then increase the thickness of the entire glass outer skin, then start the laminations of the core material, correct? I think you are also saying that you would not prefabricate the whole core on the bench, but would do it in-place, layer by layer, so you could insure the better bonding around the edges, correct?
