Default Re: transom help

Are you replacing from the inside? Search the old posts and you will find many techniques, all seemingly successful. Some people put a layer of mat down first, some don't, but everyone uses some form of thickened resin, be it epoxy or polyester. I used polyester, thickened with mostly milled fibers, often called "cabosil."

You can spread it with a notched trowel, then use lumber and thru bolts or some kind of clamps or something to provide the pressure to hold it all together until cured.

Just remember, nothing seems to go as easily as planned, but even an idiot like me can make a transom that's strong as heck.
