Hello,
I'm replacing my transom soon and wanted some advice.
I need to install 50 oz woven/roven in front of the existing outer fiberglass skin, then 2' inch pvc closed cell foam , then the inner fiberglass skin.
Clamping the shape is difficult, so I'm considering vacuum bagging.
I'm thinking about applying the vacuum bag around the existing outer transom, over the top, and then down over the new woven/roven and foam. I'm hoping this will pull things together nicely.
Then apply the new inner skin with another vacuum bagging the next day.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
