I'm using RAKA epoxy on my transom and the stuff is great. I bought the six gallon kit for a substantial savings over just buying the gallons individually. My transom is now finished. It was done from the inside. I'm no expert but this is what I did. First I reinforced the corners of the transom (sides and bottom) with fillets of thickened epoxy and two layers of 1708 tape. Then I laid two layers of 1708 over the existing skin of the transom. Next was the core material (1.5 inch coosa) then three more layers of glass in this order. 1208, 2408, and 1708. That project probably took close to 3 gallons of resin and 1.5 gallons of hardner. Good luck. -will

Will thanks for the info. Did you have any problems getting a good wetout with the RAKA or is the viscosity thin enough to get full saturation easily.

The RAKA worked great for me... esp. in the high heat.
No problems with wet out just make sure and stick to the SLOW hardener... Larry is a good guy to deal with at RAKA. I started out my project with a 6 gallon kit ended up using about 15 gallons.. ![]()
