Hi all,
I am working on a project to replace the transom on my 82' Bass Tracker. I plan to glue two sheets of 5/8" plywood to fit the original thickness of 1-1/4" and then apply epoxy on the sides and edges to make it waterproof.
Now I got questions:
1. What glue or resin should I use to glue two sheets together?
2. What epoxy should I use for the outside of the board? I did some research online and people talk about "epoxy". But what exact epoxy are they referring to and where to get it?
3. Do I need to use fiberglass cloth/mat to strengthen the transom? If so, where to apply it?
4. Is pressure treated plywood necessary, considering the board will be epoxy-ed?
Thanks for your patient.
