    laminating transom

    Re: laminating transom Here's how I do a transom. Poly resin without CSM will dry brittle and IMHO is pretty much useless. The CSM is a must for strenth. Wrapping the edges is very important. I also drill 1/2" relief holes in various places in the wood so when I clamp the transom to the...
