[QUOTE="hercdrvrwo, post: 317795, member: 11885"] BigTerp - Here is what MDO is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_density_overlay_panel Thanks for the words! I appreciate it! It will go slow -- but I will get it done. So prioritized task list for the Transom: 1. Laminate boards - 2x 3/4 while that is setting up 2. Clean up transom - Sand & Wire brush 3. Drill out leaky holes and weld/rivet back up 4. Acetone then prime it up. 5. Cut boards to pattern - the transom I just pulled out was not the original. It was ~ 1 inch too short and didn't sit down on the shelf designed for the transom wood. The previous owners bolts didn't grab much of the wood. 6. Expoxy - 4 coats 7. Prime the board -- I plan to paint the transom the same color as the boat because I will be putting my camo pattern on the entire boat -- I leave nothing to chance when I am duck hunting! 8. Install using Big Terp's method - except I will use clamps not the wife -- not that she wouldn't help, I just need the me time to do it myself! That's my plan. Should take maybe 1 week & a couple 'a hrs each day! [/QUOTE]
