I used epoxy resin for the transom. I've read where other's have used PB. I would definitely use PB for stringers though.

ok PB for the stringers. will PL be ok for the transom? i know it will take up to 72 hours to cure but that will be fine due to having other things i can work on. just trying to stretch 10gal of poly..

Do you mean to bed it to the skin or to bond the 2 pieces of ply together? Personally I would use resin and csm or PB to bond to skin....Titebond 3 glue to bond the ply together.

thank you for the advise, i think i will use the PL glue since i will have other things to work on and give it time to cure.
Posted 4min before the question about PL for the transom asked above..........
