The first part of the job was to remove as much of the rotten veneers as was needed and then start to cut back layer to regain the strength in the veneers to the original.
On the inside of the transom it was needed to cut back more veneers to regain the strength in the transom. This done by it making the original vertical veneers on the first layer of the transom lay up.
Then we then started to lay up the diagonal layers one by one to rebuild the transom thickness once again
Thi is made up of 6 layers of veneers placed on the diagonal, these are glued with thickened epoxy over the space of a week a layer a day.
A layer of thickened epoxy and then each piece of veneer then screwed in position and each layer then completed
Now we are at the final layer but one which will be glued on tomorrow and then the work will start on the side of the hull to finally close up this repair and then the transom will get a final 1 mm thick veneer and the hull will be resprayed in its original colours once more.
