If there is glass in between the sheets of wood, then it has been replaced before. Never heard of the factory putting glass in between the sheets before. They normally would use the little squares of wood like they did on the decking in the transom.

Yes i think it has been done before. The chainsaw really didnt do anything to the glass it just bounced off. I didnt realize that the arjay was half the price of the seacast and it seems to be just as good or better.

I got three 5 gal pails plus a quart of MEK-P shipped to Baton Rouge and the shipping ran about $130. Seacast was expensive and looks lumpy when poured. The Arjay ran like butter. We hammered the hull for air pockets but there was really no need. I guarantee every void in my transom was filled up by this stuff.

This is a quote from the member who just did his transom with ARJAY 6011. $130 a 5 gallon bucket shipped don't sound that bad. Last I heard SEACAST was going for $220+ shipped.
