Great stuff. Great for a DIY with some glassing experience. I used it on my V20. V20 doesn't have a flat transom. There are three angles. Truly "pourable" made it match the shape and fill the space. No air gaps. no need to vacuum bag.

How much did you use to fill your V20 Transom? I have a 1983 V20. Did you hallow out your transom or did you cut out one wall to take all the wood out?

I just did a transom get a 5000psi pressure washer and a turbo tip it was the easiest way to get the rotted wood out and with the poor in transoms are alot easier

Wow,great looking product.

You guys should redo this with a mic and without that background beeping sound.

Wonderful product! I'm doing it!

This looks like a great product for transom repair. With such little flex, wouldn't any stress be redirected to the borders of the transom? I'm wondering if that might cause issues down the road. I just bought a 17' jon boat that needs a new transom core. The transom aluminum is welded to the sides and has angle aluminum braces riveted to the transom. I'm wanting to not make any mistakes that would compromise the integrity over the long term. Looks like a great product!

Amazing. Is this product lighter then plywood?

New Customer here!!! I have seen others adding fiber (size unknown but looks like 1/2" chop) to the product. Please elaborate if that is a good idea or not?

Been thinking of useing that on my hydra sport bass boat transom not rottenjust some one didn't do it right way has some flex I fixed it some what no flex but still like it to be done right

Mine worked great accept for one difference, I put in a 3/8" 7570 aluminum plate as additional streght and filled the carbon on both sides. Transom is stronger than a freight train now.

How is this different than Rondo which is bondo w poly resin to make more liquefied? Or is it the same thing?

Hola buenas tardes, disculpen alguien sabe si este producto lo encuentro en Mexico?

Is it possible to roll this product to a surface 🤔.

my 1/2'' aluminum plate transom never rots, dang plastic boats!

Before applying this to aluminum, does the aluminum need to be coated or protected first? Does this compound have any corrosive properties that might enhance aluminum oxidation or corrosion?

@hughobrien4139

Fair question. I’m disappointed that you were not given a response. This much speaks volumes. People that work with aluminum on a finite level understand that oxidation with this alloy can be very different and cause difficulties to arise with no known solution.

The fiberglass process relies on the porosity of the substrate so non porous substrates can delaminate because it was never laminated in the first place. Fiberglass boat builders use fiberglass not aluminum for this reason.

Does the compound expand when it is completely dried? In your demonstration it appears that it filled the whole transom? How much would I need to fill the transom of my 1983 Wellcraft V20?

You guys need to get the boat manufacturers to use your product to mold transoms that could be glassed over just as ply is. Runners could also be molded. When you consider how much a new boat costs it seems as though they should be built better

Peak exotherm is the highest temp it will reach. Good practice is to pour one five gallon at a time and watch peak exotherm then pour when temp is cooled down sum. This product has a low peak exotherm compared to other types of resins and epoxys

So compression strength, what about lateral strength? Which i would believe is more important.

Id like to use this to repare my stringers on my fiberglass boat but don't need 5 gal of it will you guys start selling smaller amounts? Also with the flex of the wood on the stringers would this flex just as well? Basically I need to dig out the rotten wood and just poor it in since there is fiberglass on both sides then just fiberglass new stuff over the top of the repared stringers its conecting to the transom so it will have the strength and also stick to all the old fiberglass?

Carbon core is far superior to the Lumpy blue Void e pourable transom compound. It is great. Check some of my vids. I did my transom the same way but with the lumpy stuff. I've switched to carbon core and it's so much easier and friendly. Self leveling. Tip. Always use super fresh product. It dsnt age well on a shelf. In fact if buying in person open the container and inspect.

Marc, Great question. It weighs about the same, no obvious weight savings. Coosa (26 lb /ft3) weighs a little less without the necessary bonding putties, so overall w eight should be close. Our material is 35 lb/ft3 and plywood about 35-45, depending on grade.
