Yet Another Transom Job in the Works - ?ions

[oldbluesplayer]

FishJack -

I never mentioned it in my rebuild, but I ran across small brads in the transom plywood, guess they were there to hold the two sheets together thru the build process.

As to your questions, above, I made up my knee out of plywood, used both 5/8 and 1/2 to get what I wanted, 3 pieces in total. After cutting them to shape, I epoxied them together, leaving the outside dry, and clamped them up to cure. Later, when installing, I used wax paper as a release paper, with another piec of 1 by pine, or a piece of 1/2 ply as an external clamper. I had put one layer of glass on the pre-built knee, before installing, and then several more layers of glass over the knee and onto the transom / hull, after installing - there's some pix in my rebuild, way back on about page 10 or so now.

hope that helps some
