I would take a flash light at night and have someone shine it into the transom as you check in the bildge area for spots of light. I'm thinking that there may be some areas that might not hold the west (thats one reason its rotted) and it would be a mess. I'm not sure but I thingk you have to poor the layers before the other dries or you would need to sand the top of each layer for proper adhesion. If I'm correct west system requires sanding between coats for adhesion.
