Epoxy would then limit the rebuilt transom to painting with epoxy paint or urethane. It would seem that epoxy would be more expensive and require more paint work than using regular vinylester resin and gelcoat, I mean you can match and blend gelcoat back to the edge of your repair, sand, buff done.
When using epoxy would you recommend stopping at the edge of repair and attempt to feather it in or paint the entire hull?
School, I never heard of epoxy being prone to crack under stress. All I ever hear is good. Is it an issue with it being so ridgid that it won't give? Or maybe a glass issue? I thought high performance boat guys built epoxy boats. I think some jet skis are also epoxy.
One more question and I will unhijack this post- What is used to wet out kevlar?
