Default Re: Redoing Transom

warthog,

i did see your restoration project on the mako website back couple of years ago and i am very impressed with your project. part of the reason i choose to but a project seacraft.

plastic sheeting as the heavy duty ones that can be purchased at home depot?

from your earlier email, i can peel the sheeting away form the set resin?

i only plan to use vacuum to sandwith the core to the existing transom skin and also core to core bonding. i feel that i can get better bonding than clamping.

You are correct IF you can get the bag to seal. It's pretty easy to do with a even surface around what your bagging. The problem comes when you throw the stringers sticking up in the mix. It can still be done, but there is a bunch more area that need's to be sealed.

Your under a time element thing here to get the vacuum on it before the resign start's to kick.

Excess resign running down in the bottom can be a real pain to get the bag sealed. Duct tape will not stick, again leading to more time spent to get it sealed.

NOTE: The word bag here is used weither were talking about a actual bag or a sealed plastic sheet.
