Re: 1983 Deck Boat Transom/deck/stringer replacement Help
First I would like to say thanks to Trooper for his input and comments. I didn't mean to miss you but I have a one track mind. (that's when my mind is working) :facepalm:
Thanks Jon Sob and South Texan for the comments.. It's kinda funny about the zip lock bags, a long time back I use to lay up the culture stone (man made) on fire places. We would use a vinyl bag with a metal tip to fill the cracks between the stone with mortar. It worked good for this so I thought the zip lock bags would work for the PB.
Wood are lakes have filled up and some or over filled in East Texas. Some of the lakes or still down in West Texas. Hope the rain brings your lake back up to full level.
So I have some pics for all of you that are interested. I tell you that my old body says I must have worked two weeks straight but the work I did says I only worked a couple of days.
Here is where I finnished putting in the storage boxes. I mixed up about 1/2 gallon of PB and spread it on the transom and sides of boxes and set them in place. They feel very solid and have a nice solid sound when I tap them with a hammer.
I also have built a fuel cell compartment for the under deck fuel tank. Used almost a sheet of 3/4 x 4 x 8 plywood.
Put it together and did the fillets and started the glassing. I was only able to get the ends and bottom done today. It took some work to go over the 2x2 braces on the bottom. I have the 1.5 csm and then a layer of the 1708.
I didn't have any air bubbles but it took alot of work.
