You do not need to fiberglass the transom. I
applied resin, sanded and re-applied the resin to fill
the wood grain. |

After
the resin has dried, lightly sand the fiberglassed
portions of the hull with #220 grit sandpaper, removing
any high buildups of resin. Be careful not to sand
through the fiberglass cloth. Then reapply
resin. Sand again. Inspect the hull for any
defects. The "weave" in the fiberglass should be
filled and smooth.
Wet-sand the fiberglassed areas of the hull with #320 grit wet or dry
sandpaper until the entire hull is smooth.

After you have sanded the hull, you need to look for
defects. Sight down the hull, sight down the sheer
knuckle looking for defects. More than likely the
sheer knuckle doesn't follow a smooth line as it flows
down the hull. This is corrected with Bondo®
filler.
Auto body guys do this same procedure on cars. They use filler to
better define the lines of a car. This is called
"blocking". After this is done, sand, clean and
inspect the hull again. Use spot putty to fill any
minor voids |
