Default Re: glassing new transom

TheHermit,

Yes, 4 layers was pretty much the same as the thickness of the original exterior skin.
And, yes, I did think about cutting off the cap pieces, but didn't 'cause I figured that would have been more work than doing the entire project from the inside. Also, it was a real tight fit getting the second layer of Penske Board into the outer edges/corners. In hind sight, I really don't know if I could have slid a one piece transom in from the top, especially in light of the hydraulic pressure created by the thickened epoxy, etc.
