all tabbed in with 2 layers of 1708. Everything went on really good. I really liked using the 1/2" chopped strands from us composites to make my own cat hair with. Way better to work with than the bondo stuff, plus I didn't have to worry about the wax like I would with the bondo hair.

Tomorrow I should be able to glass a small cap where the transom top and sides are. After that sets, then I can pour in the Arjay. Once that sets then I can glass it all up and be finished with the transom rebuild.

Well I was able to glass in the transom area so that I can pour the arjay tomorrow. It's not the strongest but all I need it to do is hold the arjay for the time being. I'll go back and grid it down and lay some more glass down.

I was very impressed by the 1708 where I tabbed in the inner transom skin. That lamination is strong like an ox. I can just imagine how strong it's going to be once I pour the arjay then put knees to the stringers.

That's a really good Idea MJ. I wish I would have done that. You would have been able to hang 1000 lbs off a bracket strong.

Today I had some time and I was able to pour the Arjay in the transom. It was really easy to work with and the ceramic particles are the same consistency as sand box sand. I did spill some in the bilge area but it cleaned up really well with acetone.
