Well I decided to scrap the skin idea. Reason being is that I did not realize that the outer two skins i put on the boat were already at the stern. Meaning flush with stern. So I decided to just start wrapping the glass around the stern quarters.. I did a 1808 o-90 came out just under the hull gellcoat.i wrapped up about3 -4 inches... I finished this one Thurs day night. just to find Friday that my heat lamp got a little to close.. So now I had to repair the core cell. Friday night. I just ground down the corcell until i got to clean material. then i added 4 pieces of glass or until it was just over .. I wrapped up it with a piece of visquen to keep the material in place. My epoxy as it gets hot it gets more liquid or viscus.. O i had to place a piece of visquene on it to keep the glue and glass in place. Sat i ground the glass flat and this time ground the stern quarters farther down the hull side about10 inches and tapering up at a 45 degree angle. so that there is more there to keep the transom from ripping off.. I glued a 17-08 0-45 piece of glass to the transom ... once that started to get really tacky. I wet out a piece of 2oz mat. i mean really wet out...WHAT a PAIN IN the ARSE ..after the mat I mixed up some cabosil and resin and smeared on to my backer board and onto the mat...I had the bright idea to build a flat very flat panel so that i can mash it up against the wet glass and get a smooth and flat surface to fare to... I will let you know what it looks like... I may have just created a really big Mess..
