.To give credit where credit is due, most of the info I've gathered as far as glasswork has come from reading old threads on OSO and some of the other boards and the past advice that most of the guys on this thread are giving you now (Glassdave and OG especially). Nice having these guys to pass along the information and their willingness to help those of us too cheap to pay somebody else to do it

I did a complete tearout and I am going to apply glass and filler to the outside. There is another thread with a similar title by Geronomo that may help you with that method.
Jeff , not to be rude , but i was just wondering how many layers of glass in between each piece of ply and how many staggered layers of glass are there along the outside perimeter of the finished transom because your transom will only be as strong as your weakest link and mulitiple layers (staggered) of glass will give you the structural integrity that you need , and other then that seeing by the white spots in your layup you have some air in the laminate & l@@ks just fine .
Thank you Paul ever so much and to tell you the truth this is one of the few sites where Dave and myself feel appreciated for are knowledge and years of experience because fiberglass repair can be the school of hard knocks or just plain overwhelming for some people and once again thanks paul .
Merry xmas everybody.
No, the inside has 2 layers of mat, then a layer of biax for the last layer, for a total of 3 layers, 2 were tabbed in. I tried to layer all the mat with some tabbed in and some not.
I just walked in the door from a very long three days and almost 4 hours on the road and Frank you are so very right about using Mat. Jeff let me get this right you only used 1.5 0z mat for just about everything in your intial layup of your transom from start to finish with the exception of your last layer of glass on the plywood in the motor compartment on the transom which was biax and just curious what was that fabric ? Jeff , once again and just curious did you use any # 1708 at all ? Jeff , from the l@@ks of things you might want to consider adding a few more layers of beef (glass) to your transom along with more mulitiple layers of glass staggered on the perimeter . Jeff , this is just a suggestion from an observation standpoint thru your posts and not meant to mean any harm .
I am going to wait till it warms up to at least 40 to do anymore work on the glass. Its really hard to keep the shop warm when its this cold.
