Default Re: resin or epoxy for transom

Do you mean what type of resin to use to glue the plywood together with?
Epoxy is the only way to go for gluing the ply together.Polyester would not be good in that application.Personally for a thickener,i like cabosil to thicken epoxy resin for gluing applications.I've done a few transoms and never had a problem with it.

AS for the polyester resin,i would't try to use it for gluing the plywood together.It's not flexible,and it does'nt adhere well enough or sink into the woody,like epoxy does.Go with an epoxy resin.
