Flex, Good info on the weights and glass to resin ratio!

I got the transom cleaned up a little more this weekend while dodging the rainfall. I fitted the core in the hull and made sure it would fit plus lay flat. I ended up having to notch the top port side gunnel to get it to drop down in there but it was the only way with out cutting something else. It will be easy to glass the piece back in once the core is in place. I had already cut the top of the core section on a 45 and rounded it so the glass would roll the corner well but after dry fitting it I realized I needed to cut the back of the side edges on a 45 too and round them smooth as well. The radius on the transom skin to the hull edges were holding the core off the back of the skin a little bit. Now that it is fitted I will seal the wood core section this week after work and have it hot coated and ready to bond in to the back of the boat. Just need some good warm weather to do it. It is 75 degrees today but rainy. Then come this weekend the highs are suppose to be 30 something degress!
