2 more layers of 18 oz sheets, 3 overlapping layers at the seams, 5 layers total.

By now, it's upside down, in preparation for gelcoat repair and paint work. But I had to fix that mess from the previous botched layup. I dutifully ground all of the boogered up, bubbled, lumpy glass off. I then went back and reground the sides where the transom ties to the old hull. Back to "virgin" glass. 2 strips of 4" wide 18 oz went on 1st, vertically, at the seams where it ties to the hull. Then a pre-cut 18 oz piece went across the whole transom. Then 2 8" pieces of 18 oz strips, covering the edges of the whole transom piece,lapping the previous 4" piece, then another whole piece across the entire transom, again pre-cut to fit, then two 12" pieces, again, lapping the second whole transom piece and the previous 8" piece. I cut the mekp ratio, down to 1.25% for a longer pot life, and thinned the resin with 10% styrene. I thinned and mixed very well before mekp was added. This went real well, it might as well been shot on with a chopper gun. But the 18 oz cloth is stronger than the shredded stuff that comes out of a gun. I'll work that goofy curved part, fix the hull nicks and gouges, gelcoat what's needed, prep it for primer, prep it for paint, then paint it with Pettit Easypoxy 1 part polyurethane.
