Almost all 5/4 Mahogany, looked better than factory because I duplicated interior but hid every single stainless steel fasteners from eyesight and weather. Wish I would have put it in my living room!

We need to split a room for Mother’s Day? HaHa

Epoxy will eventually yellow and fail.
Bitch to bring back down.

All my pics are on my I phone and PB.
PB wants clams.

I`ll shoot you pics.
Cheers,

Yeah, PhotoBucket is a scam. I have a bunch of pics of my kids being held for ransom. Who ever decided to do that to everyone is likely the child of a whore and a pedifile and should be shot on sight. I know these fourums are moderated so I didnt want to say what I really think. So you are saying Poly, GFS?

Epoxy, it's below the waterline.

There ya go, Bro! Baby steps. I really like like the idea of 26” or 31” heights! Do you have a buddy who will work with you? Many times I mixed resin, and even gel coat, one step ahead of the guy applying. It’s a friggin’ mess and will likely be a S#itShow the first three to five opening the containers... Buy 7 boxes of latex gloves, the Correct size!!! Actually that will be oversized because when you get good, you’ll be wearing two pair at a time!!!

Yeah, its just at the water line but I was hoping that I could use the poly so the gellcoat would come out nicely and last a while. ...

For epoxy you need nitrile gloves.
HF has 100 for about 10 clams.

A pro 3M respirator is also mandatory.
Not optional.
Epoxy is serious has mat.

[Rybones]

Yes, I have a buddy with more experience than myself. And yes the 2x glove is a trick I use for food prep so it will apply here just the same. Not sure how much resin I should a gallon be plenty for skins for adding the 6" to the notch and closing up the top edge with the 6" tape?

FYI.....I think this is very similar to Arjay 6011, if not the same.

Pourable Transom Compound Carbon-Bond Formally Nida-Bond
CARBON-BOND POURABLE TRANSOM COMPOUND is ceramic filled
polyester exhibiting exceptional physical properties. In particular,
the compressive strength has been documented by an independent
testing laboratory to be 3,895 psi (ASTM 695). This is several times that
of plywood and 8 to 10 times that of PVC foam. In addition, the failure
mode shows elastic yielding before failure. This makes the CARBON-BOND
POURABLE TRANSOM COMPOUND material an excellent choice for
critical applications such as coring transoms on power boat hulls.

Great

You chose wisely.

I've used this on my transom on the 20.. And the center keel...it is tough as nail... Maybe even tougher.. I layed up a skin on the inside and added foam tabs to tie the two skins together.. Pour small batches and watch for leaks.. Once you spot on seal it up best you can and wait for the excess resin to kick off.. I say small batches cause you don't want to loose the whole thing dealing with a leak..also small batches cause this stuff is heavy and dense.. It will want to try to push your skins apart..

Easy to use but it does take a lot of forward thinking... Ceramic beads are not nice on your equipment... I don't know why they used that stuff..put foam blocks in the places where thru hulls are going . Cleats , lifting rings, and ect.. It's easier to drill thru foam and glass than glass and ceram pour..trust me I know .. I sold boat after trying Good luck
