Did a lot of small little things to get ready for this morning.
Fillets, corner radius, cutting the glass, etc all that.

It was perfect weather this morning 70 low humidity.

Tabbed in the transom core, three layers of 1708, 6in, 10in, 16in.
Sealed the core with a coat for resin, let it kick, then started the tabs. I let each layer kick before starting the next but all were wet on wet. Put one full sheet over the whole core and wrapped is around onto the transom skin. I took wax paper and clamped the top so it would “glue” to each side. Once that had kicked and a little extra I pulled the wax paper off. Not the results I wanted few air pockets and not great adherence.
Instead of trying to just make it work I painted PVA over the whole transom/tabs, and let it dry. I’ll grind it down and add two more full layers when I do the stringers. The picture looks green because of the PVA.
