Thanks kc ..
gm , thanks for the kind words .. All I can say if ya plan on using the stuff on another project just be prepared for the sticker shock .
IMHO thats the only drawback that I can think of ..
Ok , after further scrutiny and pondering about the ladder pad . I realized that 3.5 deg is only about 3/8" in 6" .. No form needed for that .I will just build that angle up with layers of glass after the pour .. Still making a hole plug to glass in though .. A little more head scratching .. A few minutes in my thinking chair ... No problem I just found another use for pool noodles . This one was a good 1/4" bigger than what I need for finished hole ..
Little problem if I mount the ladder tube square with the transom with the angle of the gunwale sides it would be kinda angled to the inside of the boat . So as you can see I needed to build the plug with an angled plate so to speak .
I know it looks funny but I think it will work out just fine ..
I also spread some resin on the bare noodle just to see if it melts it ..
Have a great Thursday everyone !
