Transom has been cut from outside leaving a 3" edge. I will be going back with plywood core. I'm hoping I can get a list of materials for each stage. My apologies btw, I know this topic has been beat to death but see various methods, some resins aren't compatible with all mats etc. I just want to get a shopping list and be done.
Inner skin is in tact but a few cuts from wood removal : What resin and mat type for a reinforcement?
Plywood prep : recommended steps I can do to prep while on the sawhorse
Plywood to inner skin: Here's where I really need help. What type adhesion to inner skin? What type filler to put in 1 1/2" channel before plywood is inserted?
Outer skin to plywood adhesion: same as above
Outer skin to existing transom 3" edge: What type resin, how many layers and types of mat? Do I put filler in where the cut lines where?
Finishing topcoat: the boat will be getting all new topside paint so what's a good method to be ready for paint?

Just duck tape over any holes in the skin and the thickened resin will fill them once the trransom is installed and clamped in place. Same for the outer skin holes check out the recommended transom clamps and use a plywood backer board with plastic taped over it.

PM me if you need specifics.
