Default Re: Hammer's transom Rebuild

Ok, it rained last night and was hot as hell today again, but I had the V tarped up so I could do some work on her. Had some spare West System so I went animal on the transom. ;D
I had a cure time of working of 20 minutes. Well after 10 minutes she was heating up quick. I was against clock here big time. :-/



Soaked the inside of the skin and the transom wood up really well. Because I was working so fast and by myself, I didnt realize I screwed up. When I knocked in some supports, the transom wood raise up about 1/2 from the bottom. :-/ Said hell with it and screwed the hell out of her from the outside.



Ran out to the store to buy some more. *:-/ *:'( :'(
It wasnt free. Those microfibers is some super strong stuff. Like concrete when it dries.


Grinded down the screws and went ahead and wetted down the inside. Had concerns about the wood asorbing when I add in the second transom piece. Figured this might prevent any non bonding and seperation. Yes, I did...I cit slices down her to get the bend. Thickness of one ply, then I tossed on a few batteries to bend her overnight. I'm gonna fill in the cuts with filler.
