x2 on what fishstrecher said, I sometimes use matt to make my fillets instead of thickened resin. I will use several 1/2" strips then several 1" strips then several 1 1/2" strips to make the fillets. This way it makes the fillet a bit stronger and also uses up all of the scrap laying around. After the fillet is in place I do like FS states start out with 4" to 5" to 6" and so on. the transom on my sceptre has a ton of tabbing. One thing I also do to add strength is to cut the transom cloth layers larger on the sides and bottom (8" wider overall and 4" taller) and use the last 4" on either side and the bottom for tabbing. This makes a strong lambent and ties the sides in with one piece. There is no seem to give way and it makes the transom and hull sides one continuous layer without any week points. Then I add the extra tabbing over this. Also take the time to roll over the lambent and get all the air pockets out from between the layers. This will help make it a lot stronger also. I'm not an expert either but this is just how I learned to do it and it works well for me. Like FS said take it with a grain of salt.
