Default Re: Transom rebuild thread

1 layer of 1.5oz mat over the wood . . . I had to build up some of the areas so that the skin would sit level. Some places have 3 or 4 layers of mat underneath. While the core was wet, I wet out the backside of the old skin with resin. Then I used a notch trowel to cover the entire inside of the outter skin with a cabosil/resin paste. I fit the skin and worked it into place(removing air bubbles). The old skin had plenty of holes to release any trapped air. I used blocks of wood and drywall screws to hold it in place until it cure. Then I filled each hole.
