Pourable Transom Compound Carbon-Bond Formally Nida-Bond
CARBON-BOND POURABLE TRANSOM COMPOUND is ceramic filled
polyester exhibiting exceptional physical properties. In particular,
the compressive strength has been documented by an independent
testing laboratory to be 3,895 psi (ASTM 695). This is several times that
of plywood and 8 to 10 times that of PVC foam. In addition, the failure
mode shows elastic yielding before failure. This makes the CARBON-BOND
POURABLE TRANSOM COMPOUND material an excellent choice for
critical applications such as coring transoms on power boat hulls.

I've used this on my transom on the 20.. And the center keel...it is tough as nail... Maybe even tougher.. I layed up a skin on the inside and added foam tabs to tie the two skins together.. Pour small batches and watch for leaks.. Once you spot on seal it up best you can and wait for the excess resin to kick off.. I say small batches cause you don't want to loose the whole thing dealing with a leak..also small batches cause this stuff is heavy and dense.. It will want to try to push your skins apart..
Easy to use but it does take a lot of forward thinking... Ceramic beads are not nice on your equipment... I don't know why they used that stuff..put foam blocks in the places where thru hulls are going . Cleats , lifting rings, and ect.. It's easier to drill thru foam and glass than glass and ceram pour..trust me I know .. I sold boat after trying Good luck
