Resin and cab-o-sil mixture. Make a paste the consistency of peanut butter and apply it to the transom and new wood, put the woo in place  and clamp in place until it is cured. Once cured prep transom and wood and deal with at least one layer of Matt, and a layer of a nice finishing cloth.

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

Not sure about the west marine thing. I got mine from Tapp plastics. When you clamp it in place for the final time get some 2x4s and clamp to them to evenly distribute the pressure and you will be gtg.

That looks like good shit. I would use this instead of mixing cab-o-sil. This will be cheaper.

I don't have my Nordic anymore but you are far into your project. Are you planning on flipping it over and checking for hook. I know my boat had issues cause it would get down right dangerous at anything over 80mph.
