Re: Can anyone tell me proper fiberglass layup
I'm using RAKA epoxy on my transom and the stuff is great. I bought the six gallon kit for a substantial savings over just buying the gallons individually. My transom is now finished. It was done from the inside. I'm no expert but this is what I did. First I reinforced the corners of the transom (sides and bottom) with fillets of thickened epoxy and two layers of 1708 tape. Then I laid two layers of 1708 over the existing skin of the transom. Next was the core material (1.5 inch coosa) then three more layers of glass in this order. 1208, 2408, and 1708. That project probably took close to 3 gallons of resin and 1.5 gallons of hardner. Good luck. -will
