i have a 91 bayliner capri that i am planning a full restore on. i have debated using poly or epxoy for weeks and am now leaning towards using poly resin to glass some 1.5oz csm to tab the stringers and bulkheads, then glass them in with w a full layer of 1708 w poly resin and then lay a complete but not massive layer of epoxy over the whole thing for strength and water proof. i was thinking to do the transom the same way but with 2 layers of 1708 w poly rather than one. i figured this would be a good way to get the benefits of epoxy but also keep the costs somewhat lower (by not having to use as much epoxy). anyone have any input on this?
also on a side note for those familiar with epoxy and its strength im curious would a stringer/bulkhead/transom configuration be stronger in 1708 with poly resin OR 10oz woven with epoxy? ive done deck replacements and such before but this is a first time doing stringers and transom, so im trying to get a good handle on this before i invest in supplies. thanks
