[QUOTE="after6tuning, post: 453224, member: 23764"] So I am working on coating the new transom wood and noticed that there is a lot of pitting and corrosion on the inner part of the aluminum transom wall. As I clean with a wire wheel some of it is deep enough to go though the other side. I am considering soda blasting the deep pitted areas and then filling with an epoxy. Or perhaps get a very thin sheet of aluminum and trim it to the shape of the transom and use marine sealant on the entire inner transom and sandwich the two together. then add the wood and the final aluminum sheet. Does this sound like the correct repair? Is there a better way? I tried aluminum filler rod with mapp gas and and as I am applying heat, the aluminum boat panel warps. [/QUOTE]
