[QUOTE="gjmsd, post: 163596, member: 4176"] Great job explaining this. I've searching for someone who has experience with this mixing his own pour. I'm about to try replacing the transom on my 16' ski boat with a 135 hp outboard and have been looking at the commercial products available. Unfortunately the hazmat shipping costs from Florida to San Diego make them rather expensive. I have been contemplating mixing my own with local supplies and been trying to figure out the correct mix. According to the specs published for two of the polyester/ceramic microsphere blends, I figure they are using 40% resin and 60% microspheres based on the weight per gallon. I have been thinking of a similar mix using epoxy resin with chopped strands mixed in for extra strength. My main question is what is your feeling on polyester versus epoxy resin? [/QUOTE]
