Looks great by the way!!

actually, there is an inner and outer fiberglass "skin" that the old, original wood was sandwiched in between (at least it is that way on my center console). All you have to do is dig out the wood between the two skins, making sure you get as much of the old wood out that you can, cover the holes in the transom really well, and pour in the arjay. It really is that simple. It actually is quite a job but with few steps. Digging out the old wood is the hardest part of the job but the right tools help.
