Project Boat for my son. NC

[dearl]

Sorry Johnny, to clarify after the initial application of linseed oil/mineral spirits /and polyurethane I apply the varnish. The varnish is the last step. Your right the recipe makes a gallon and It will go along way. You could mix up parts to make less, I mix it by the gallon and have done 3 - 4 transoms off one batch.

that's cool.

I just taylor my suggestions to the individual's needs.
99.9% of the members here are not in the commercial arena
and may only do one transom every 5-10 years.

Tight Lines !!

IMHO - truck bed liners should be left in the truck bed.
once applied, and you don't like it, you may never get it off
to do it over again correctly.

again - just my personal opinion.

I did a transom 5'x 16"x1.5" made of 2 layers of 3/4" BCX plywood and used less than a quart of old timers. Each part was 8 ounces.

Boat is back from dustless blasting. Took a while but I am pleased with the outcome. Ready for rebuild. Need a trailer. Anyone close to NC with one, let me know.
