What is the proper way to bed in a transom so that this doesnt happen:
Ive seen some use mat others use thickened resin not sure what they thickened it with though.
Any help appreciated
This famous guy with the searay on youtube uses cabosil chopped glass and resin: video of him speading it out at about 9 minutes in to the video. Is this the best way???

[ATTACH=CONFIG]513733[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]513731[/ATTACH]further to my post, epoxy is the strongest but for experts only due to the special curing needs. Your lack of a bond is likely due to glassing over old glass without the correct resin. ill post some pics from today

Im using vinylester resin, it really just didnt get sucked into the fiberglass enough i think, plus maybe the mat was a little too thin for a somewhat uneven/large surface

I like to make a thick resin using cabosil on top a layer of mat using a notch trowel spread onto wet mat then bond your core.For the edges fill with resin,cabosil,and chopped strand curving the edges for a good radius then use your biaxial, just my 2 cents
