[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 396473, member: 15636"] [size=7][b][color=#FF0000]Pour complete![/color][/b][/size] Well .. after a LONG delay due to pressing family matters, the transom is finally all poured ... Once I had the area all fabricated, akin to a cofferdam if you will, i.e., a metal structure that formed a 'pool' that the liquid thickened ceramic polyester resin mix can fill (sealed for no leaks) then the entire process took less than 2-hours, maybe just over an hour, as I didn't really clock it. Plus I had a little emergency fixes to stop a small leak, just so I didn't get stuff all over the inside of my new transom. Attached are the photos of the mix and the final result after pouring. We did not get any pictures taken of the pour, as well quite simply ... it is anti-climatic! Just mix the material and pour away! Ideally this concept and product is NOT for everyone and only I chose it for my use on a boat to be used expressly in saltwater, as I already had to [b]replace[/b] :shock: (not repair) the transom piece due to salt impregnating & permeating the unsealed wooden transom. Cost-wise it is more than good marine ply with epoxy coating. But the compressive strength is 7X greater than plywood, while being a tad more flexible and lighter in physical weight. As a bonus, it will never absorb water and is impervious to chemical attack once cured. If it works ... there is also a video attached, showing the mix, where the viscosity is about that of a McD's milkshake. [/QUOTE]
