[QUOTE="Windman7, post: 301864, member: 7996"] I'm rebuilding my transom and with the recommendations from this site, I'm putting the West System epoxy over the wood to seal it out. When filling holes it seems to shrink into the holes. Is it soaking into the wood or shrinking? When I use filler with it, it seems to stick to the spatula and doesn't spread like the straight epoxy. Is there an easier way to work with it? Does the epoxy have to be scuffed before any new layers will be added? Specifically in the holes I'm filling. Am I doing something wrong? Should the epoxy with the filler be white? [/QUOTE]
