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.

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

Post by: TJS Nordic on September 28, 2012, 08:01:51 AM: 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.
