You discounted my original post a incorrect, now you are changing your tune.
Your instant dismissal and continued singled mindedness is cause for the attitude.
So what if I don't post that often, don't expect me to kiss your ass because I don't plaster my opinions on here twice everyday. I'm a touch too busy "at the sharp end" to rack up 5k+ of posts... Hence, I'm not on here to looking to bolster my self esteem either, just helping out when I can.
If you like it better, I will not bother anymore - if you get so offended that someone has a tad more info to chip in.
My concern is that:
The method you prescribed is not risk free to the novice and therefore could bite someone in the backside.
I would NEVER stick any thing bigger than 4" square the way you suggested, but, I do operate at the top of the composite boatbuilding ladder and up here we push the quality onwards, techniques get pioneered, incorporated as Standards and handed on......
Shame on you and enjoy 'your' forum.

Check out my Powerplay thread on OSO Best Regards.

Thanks for your reply. I have never done this kind of a repair before and never worked with epoxy or polyester either, so please forgive me if the following question sounds stupid: Would pre-drilling the core of the plywood with 3 mm holes every 50 cm apart weaken the overall strength of the plywood. Your method of drilling these holes makes a lot of sense.

No, it does not make sense!

Don´t listen to these "experts".

Astute is a completely unknown quantity here.
GC is just a bigmouth
And War Whoop, well, every of his comments is just that. A war whoop...
Though he should know better, being a builder himself. But obviously he does not.

Go with PAR´s advice, several hundred readers, members and customers did it with success!

No need to perforate the transom, thats nonsense. And believe me I did several transoms..............



Yes there are holes, two on each transom, 10in. diameter. Making sure there is no gap in the layup (and providing the exhaust pipe through hulls).

Regards
Richard

You should not give advice, remember by opening your mouth you have proved yourself to be a idiot.

*******,

you have not even the ability to read my posts, let alone to comprehend them!

On top of that your amateurish recommendation of polyester for a transom repair makes your contribution here not worth much, to say it polite.

Please take the fight outside guys. The input on the topic at hand is much appreciated, but all the insults and rudeness ruin the discussion.
