Using Coosa

[WillyC]

I used one piece of the 1-1/2 inch blue water coosa for my transom (20 sf). I found it very easy to work with; shaping and forming was a breeze with the jig saw and grinder. I'm pretty sure it bonded well to the inside skin of the transom. I reinforced the corners of the hull and bottom and put two layers of 1708 on the inside skin before installing. The existing transom was nice and flat as was the coosa and I made sure it fit just right before installing.

It seems that there are several variations of composit board for glass work. what is the diference between these composit boards and the honeycomb style boards and does anybody know anything about using it for decking?

If you go to the manufacturers web sights they will explain the purposes of each of their lines of products and their purposes. A composite designed for a deck does not have the same density as a composite designed for a structural transom. Transoms will have much more pressure put on it from the through transom bolts that hold the motor / motors / bracket and the pressure put on it from running in seas and trailring it that what a 200 Pounder walking on the deck would.
