Hermco - When you leave the 3" border of old transom . . . do you dig out the old wood around the edges or just leave it be?
Seems like if the perimeter wood is dry and in marginal shape it'd be "ok" to leave it be . . . correct? or should you just dig out everything and fit a bunch of pieces in like a jig saw puzzle? ![]() |

For best results I would get it all out and if you cut the top cap you can slide the new core in as one piece and not have to "jigsaw" puzzle it it.

Removing the core from the outside saves you from cutting the cap or liner.

I don't know how the pros do it. I cut the outside skin approx 3" from edge,remove old bad core,dig out any wet,rotted,loose core from edge,add 2 1708 biaxial to inner skin,backfill edges with putty,glue on new core with a 1.5 oz mat,add outside laminates and finish.I do not reuse the old skin.

If you leave three inches around perimeter...how do you get it in? (curious...planning a rebuild this off season).
I am a carpenter with a little glass expirience, I want to put on a bracket and fill in the transom. I am only apprehensive about doing the detail work like the baitwell and the edges and hatches. I will research this site further when the time comes...seems there is alot of good info on here. But when it comes time to finisg the glass work...do you sand down and skim with filler to make it smooth?? (whats a quick discription of a good method) thnx joe |
