If I could ask another question, how did you settle on the remaining skin to edge distance? I have seen some a couple of inches longer. seems the longer it is, the better/stronger the tie in will be but the hard to get the remaining wood out. Are you going to wrap the glass around the edges?

I forgot to mention the twisted wire cup i used on my 4" grinder.. It worked very well for removing the wet wood that was still bonded to the glass.. It does not gum up just eats away at the wood..

As for the edge i wanted to get most of the rot out and be able to install my new foam piece easier... I am going with a1.5 inch 20 desity foam bord with two 24 oz roving inter twined in the foam.. Kinda like coosa board but alot cheaper..and i will be wrapping the glass around the transom quarters. And will not be using the outer skin... Just epoxy and glass..
I cut pieces of glass and tabbed in the inner liner to the outer edge of the transom. So i will have a clean slate to work with.. I am also skinning the inside liner with acouple of layers one 1708,0-45 and 1808,0-90
