Things have been going so good I think I might be someone else.
Got four layers in, gonna put the final 1700 bi-directional on tomorrow and start building my gunnel knee panels.
Transom is getting stiffer than ..... well it's getting there.
warm resin just works better. (it's even winter in CA)
wet out 1700, clamp on layer 3.
all layers are glassed 2" over and returned to hull.
getting ready for number 3
#3 went well set up by the time we got back from lunch. (I think I'll put on #4)
screws seem to pull # 4 in adequately
# 4
Count em ... 4 layers, 4 layers glass, 5th layer 1700 bidirectional to finish tomorrow.
I like the way everything went, don't know if I'd ever use wood in a boat again.Wriggleys gum makes me think of boating, "Double your engines, Double your fun"

...120 lb density is nice for transom foam. you pick the brand. the core is not where the strength is mostly, it comes from the laminate on both sides of any stringer, tranverse stringer, bulkhead, transom, etc. I've purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of CoreCell. same with DivinyCell. so I recommend them, but any PVC foam will do that you can get. it all bends & can be vacuum bagged in place. before use, drill a lot of random 1/8" holes in the foam for air/bedding compound escape. Epoxy is fine but vinylester works well too.
Thanks for your input, NP
Yo Fugimo! Thank-you for steering me towards the foam for the transom, I'll probably never use wood again.Wriggleys gum makes me think of boating, "Double your engines, Double your fun"
