Plywood may need a couple months to dry enough for resin to stick to it

Re: transom

What are you using for resin and fiberglass? Some resins won't stick well to treated plywood. Your better off getting either marine plywood or exterior plywood.

Ayuh,... Put your plywood somewhere Hot to Dry it... Then use Epoxy instead of polyester resin....
