FYI - Poly Fair is an epoxy product.
You cant/shouldn't ever put vinylester or polyester resins over epoxy.
Vice-versa is OK though.

Hope that didn't throw a monkey wrench in your mechanism...

I'm right behind you on my transom. Got the new layers of Coosa and the new skin (I bought a sheet of 3/16 flat stock from graingers and cut it to fit) glassed on with West System yesterday. Even had the wife helping, fully suited up and everything!

Went by the yard today to check it out, and all seemed mostly OK.
One of the carriage bolts I used to bolt on some two by fours to compress everything was stuck really good. Must have not mold released it enough. Damaged the new skin a little getting it out. Had to mix up some thickened epoxy and inject it here and there.
Then ground down the edges and prepped for the tabbing.
Tomorrow lunch break she's getting her seams glassed.
Then I'll dive into the poly-fair fun.
