Wednesday, Jan. 20: I cut out the six fashion pieces to fit around the inside of the transom, using hot glue to temorarily fasten and fit them. Then I turned the transom over and screwed through the plywood into the fashion pieces. That gave me a good "dry" fit, After sanding and planing the edges a bit, I took it apart for final assembly: I removed the screws, removed the fashion pieces, cleaned off the hot glue residue, and put it back together with epoxy and screws. Slow work, as always, but I think I got it right. We won't know for sure until the boat goes together.
