[QUOTE="nate665, post: 500540, member: 26346"] I just finished mine, about to reinstall. Not exterior, but the higher grade of plywood on the premise likely fewer voids. Glued to two 19/32 pieces together with Titebond 3 (clamps all along edge, a dozen or so screws as well. I was able to salvage the old rotted transom in one piece so I could use as a template. Cut to size. Mock it up on the boat to mark all holes and pre-drill. Remove the screws put there for the bonding process. I coated the whole thing with fiberglass resin, 2 coats, making sure to apply very well to the cut edges. I did not thin or use extra hardener, but might have been easier if I had. I applied with a brush. [/QUOTE]
