Default Re: Transom Mods

I am not doing the work myself so a lot of the technical questions I really can't answer. Thats why I took it to a professional. From the few times I've been able to get out there and talking to Vick (My Glass man) he told me that all the wood was bedded in an epoxy paste and screws and clamps were used to hold it all together while the epoxy cured. He then used fiberglass matt on all the joints and to make a new skin on the areas where the new wood is. As far as the old skin that he put back on the boat he used a bed of epoxy and screws from what I've been able to see. I believe the brown stuff is an epoxy based filler so he can sand it all smooth but like I said he's the pro and he seems to be doing it right from what I've seen and the little that I know about glass work and boat repair. I will say this, it is as solid as a rock and he isn't completely done tying it all together.
