Transom...glassing over the top...tips?

[apneadreams]

I recently glassed / or am in the process of glassing my transom on a 1971 20'...what I did was cut the glass to fit and using painters tape, I basically "stretched" the fiberglass across the transom....start in the center and work your way out to the sides...also before you apply the tape make sure you fold over little "grab Tabs" on the tape so you can easily remove the tape as you apply the resin...when removing the tape you want to pull from the center of the transom out....worked well for me....
