I would take a flash light at night and have someone shine it into the transom as you check in the bildge area for spots of light. I'm thinking that there may be some areas that might not hold the west (thats one reason its rotted) and it would be a mess. I'm not sure but I thingk you have to poor the layers before the other dries or you would need to sand the top of each layer for proper adhesion. If I'm correct west system requires sanding between coats for adhesion.

Re: Transom Repair
 
I have already sealed the transom so it wont leak out. Also I am putting a fiber powder in it for strength. The product I put in the boat will be thick, as thick as I can get it and still pour it. The original rot started at the port splashwell drain, and spread from there, the right 2/3 or half, and the bottom wood was still solid and dry.

It sounds like you have covered everything and I'm sure all on the sight will be interested in how it turns out. So is this a partial repair or did you remove the entire transom?
