Pelican,

I do have a legit question for ya... If I do my transom with ply and laminate/seal with epoxy, but then stick it in the boat with poly and cabosil... I will still get a chemical bond, right? Between epoxied ply and wet/new poly.

I want to use poly in the boat because I think the 1708 and matt will wet out much better with the poly (which I guess dissolves the stings holding the matt together??? that epoxy does not do?). But I want to seal my ply with epoxy.

Ok thanks!
Chemical bond....I wouldnt think so Ken. Poly over epoxy is a bad idea They used to sell epoxy matt at US Composites. It didnt have the binder in it.
