I found I had to remove more glass as I was dealing with some white mystery paste that I found around the perimeter of the balsa coring so I didn\'t feel the need to put those little pieces back in as the epoxy and microfiber paste is at least as strong. So the white streaks are not trapped air pockets, but epoxy/microfibre

all excess epoxy paste that squeezed out along the perimeter was thoroughly removed and cleaned off to be added just before the transom outer glass face was reapplied.

The side show what was under the black plastic trim it\'s full length. Dry resin starved mat... Nio wonder water leaked into the coring underneith.

The light 3/8\" shims allowed for the ~1/4\" outside glass and a light 1/8\" of epoxy and microfiber paste.

with a narrow transom like this horizontal braces using the engine mount holes and 8\" screws works real well.

Didn\'t check the thickness of the existing glass until after I ground it down and felt that it wasn\'t just one or two layers of mat. It was already 3/16+, but because I already ground it and had 2 layers of 1208, 1 of mat and the PeelPly cut, I went ahead and applied...
