Sometimes, you get what you pay for.... Lesson learned - for us all. I hope it all ends up with a happy ending for you.

I understand what you are saying about one sheet of ply for the layer(s) on the transom. I'm confused on why you used 2 layers of 3/4 though. Is that per spec and I just missed that part? Or do you have an "experimental craft :twisted: " you want to run a larger moter on? :D At what point ...

Anybody tried "N-DEX" nitrile gloves? I'm not sure where to get them locally, but we go through cases of them at work every day. I could probably get them pretty easily if I new they were not going to melt to my hands :? when exposed to epoxy. I now they don't like methanol very much, but ...

Looks like you just did my research for me. I was going to look at the possibility and practicality of mix and matching types based on desired effect and performance. Thanks.

Thanks Jacques, I'll keep it in mind. After rereading the thread, and DrBones' site, I will have to think on this some more. I was planning to use the XL fir, but noticed the EuroLite this weekend. I want it because it is lighter. A few pounds per sheet can make a world of difference in the complete...

Maybe this should be a seperate thread, but...
