Well after sanding all the wood that was stuck to the glass,and about 6 more hrs making a plywood form,spacers out of 1 inch dowls,bolting a steel angle iron to the transom,i finnally poured the seacast today,all went well,it was easy to use,and it came out good,so far,ill let you know how it comes out during the week. i will remove the plywood form,which i covered with wax paper.its quite a job,but it will be worth it in the end,i took pics,but i gotta figure out how to postem on OSO,ive never had good louk doin it tripps

Yeah great Tripps. I look forward to seeing them. According tho the Seacast website it is very important to not have residual wood/dust in there to contaminate the bind. How did you go with that?

Good one. Let me know how it all comes together. I had my heart set on going down the Coosa way but now I probably will go with marine ply. I was talking to JDub yesterday & he said that I shouldn't even use epoxy. Since it was originally a polyester boat, the repair should continue on with these resins not epoxy. Wow the plot thickens??
