Did you know that Boatcraft Pacific sells a booklet called 'Transom Replacement Instructions'? And that the descriptor for the booklet is "Replacing the transom on your fibreglass boat [using] Bote-Cote boatbuilding products"?
Seems CT does know his stuff and you owe him an apology.

Thanks Mopheus. It's amazing what can be achieved when one reads and follows the instructions!

Going to buy this bookletSent from my CPH2069 using Ausfish mobile app
I'll send you a copy of mine if you PM me an email address. It was available as a free download for a while.
I found their other booklet much more useful. I bought it as a hardcopy.
How has an argument involving Gazza side track yet another thread!
Democracy: Simply a system that allows the 51% to steal from the other 49%.
Im not one to flog a dead horse.. i posted credible evidence you used the wrong resin its even a softer formular for the flexing in plywood hulls, you can take it or leave it thats my opinion, thats my research, if u wanna be blindly lead that is up to you but dont push a resin onto another blokes build that isformulated for plywood hulls its a false economy and miss leading
It may have worked for you even tho you done it wrong i will be a man and say i hope it continues to work... flog me all you like on my transom but you contradic your self based on a billetin
Do it once do it right use the correct resin at the beginning, the whole boat coat web site is based around plywood boats why u would chose there resins to repair a GRP hull is just up there with being blind folded or taking my advice...
When your wrong own that shit dobt get out a rag and polish the turd to make it sound like your correct be a man not a perfectionist....
Will do now. Thanks heaps CTSent from my CPH2069 using Ausfish mobile appI'll send you a copy of mine if you PM me an email address. It was available as a free download for a while.

The manufacturer's published documentation says you're wrong yet here you are spitting and polishing. Flog that horse, Gazza.
Of course boat craft want to flog there products how else will they get sales... read the description on the resin it says its specifically designed for plywood composite so much they have reduced the resins stiffness
Plywood composite is not fibreglass GRP, one is aplywood core with a fibreglass skin either side that builds up the entire boat this is specifically what the boatcoat resin was designed for, GRP is a solid fibreglass laminate
Alot of you guys said i ruined my boat by using epoxy resin 3 years ago and here u are supporting the use of epoxy resins... i dont get it
And what is a transom but a ply core composite
They say it's slightly more flexible than other resins. This doesn't preclude it's use for other applications. A transom rebuild involves laminating wood in any case.
Do you ever stop to think about what it is you're typing? What is a transom if not "a plywood core with a fibreglass skin"?
Where has CT said that he built a non-composite GRP anything with it?
He has used the product for EXACTLY what the manufacturer designed it for - encapsulating a plywood core in a fibreglass sheath.
Nope. People told you that CSM won't lay down properly with epoxy because the binders only dissolve in poly (and they were correct), gave you advice on PPE (which you refused and paid the health price for) and asked if you'd considered poly/epoxy compatibility w.r.t your gelcoat (which you hadn't).
That's all helpful advice, not telling you that you ruined your boat.
Receipts here.
Well he's flogging something!
