Re: a project found its way back home
i was hoping to start cutting the new wood tomorrow & i do have a question about the pl glue. which one do i use? most list wood but i have not found list fiberglass.
PL Premium or Titebond III...
If you are talking about laminating the plywood (most likely 2 pcs of 3/4") to
make the 1.5" thick plywood transom: Yes, either of these.
But I read the question as: Which glue to use to
adhere the assembled 1.5" plywood transom to the stern/transom fiberglass skin. For this the PL shown is an option. The commonly referred to PB (peanut butter consistency mix of: cabosil, 1/4" chopped strand fiberglass, and poly resin w/ hardener added 1st, made into a PB-like paste) is also used to adhere the plywood transom onto the hull.
Scroll back up your thread, find a post from oops & click the link in his thread. He has a very handy index at the beginning. You can find TONS of helpful info there. Should be required reading for all us nut-jobs (myself included, proud member!) working w/ glass & poly. If I remember correctly, he has a basic PB recipe posted. It might be on the sticky page of helpful info, at the 'Repair' forum homepage too.
There are LOTS of helpful threads around.. Can never read & scan through enough threads. The pix problem continues, which is unfortunate. For me, watching FriscoBoaters vids (here & YouTube) really made everything I'd read click and make more sense. YouTube maybe a better option for now, looking for his vids.
Have good end to the weekend.
