Installed #4 layer using the 937grm (25oz) biaxial fabric tonight
I covered approx. 1200x1000mm with approx. 1.4kg (2.8 US lbs) of VE
Tonight in melb temperature 20-23 C so a little cooler than last night, so had plenty of time to work with the 25oz fabric, used roller and 2" brush to dab VE on transom, and roller to take out air bubbles
actually 25oz cloth layered up fairly easy not much different than 17oz just took a little more resin to wet out
Therefore 4 layers now on inner transom
1 layer 600CSM
1 layer of 17oz biaxial
1 layer 600CSM
1 layer of 25oz biaxial
This was laminated to the original transom skin which would of been 2mm thick, so I didn't think there was a need to tab and reinforce the floor and inner transom, unless someone thinks it would be better to add a layer of 2oz CSM/17oz biaxial to reinforce
Now finished the inside of transom, there is a few dips to fill with PB
The transom when finished will be close to 70mm (2.8" )thick
Have used approx 30kg VE so far
maybe able to get a few layers on outer transom this week, which would be good
Then not sure whether to repair stringers first, or cut out hole in transom and mount the surface drive
