Re: Wet transom
Pourable Transom Compound
NIDA-BOND POURABLE TRANSOM COMPOUND is ceramic filled polyester exhibiting exceptional physical properties. In particular, the compressive strength has been documented by an independent testing laboratory to be 3,895 psi (ASTM 695). This is several times that of plywood and 8 to 10 times that of PVC foam. In addition, the failure mode shows elastic yielding before failure. This makes the NIDA-BOND POURABLE TRANSOM COMPOUND material an excellent choice for critical applications such as coring transoms on power boat hulls.
There are three methods of employing the NIDA-BOND POURABLE TRANSOM COMPOUND material as a transom core:
1. Specially Designed Hull Liner.
2. Use of Transom Jigs.
3. Filling the Cavity.
I am in the middle of my Transom right now and plan to use this product. I did cut into my Transom to remove the "Mulch" I have ground down to the good Plywood and plan to insert 1/2 stainless rods for the nidacore to Grab and tie into the solid corners.
If I would have JUST poured mine from the TOP as some suggest it would been a Patch job at Best.
I do think adding the round stock will give the pour more to grab to as long as it doesn't block and make air pockets.
