(10-10-2006) Well, if at first you don't succeed... Seems that I didn't use enough resin and/or I clamped it too tight. One half started separating when I removed the clamps. I was able to pull it apart and I found dry mat. I applied resin and mat to the side that the original mat didn't stick to. I then applied resin to the side with the original mat still stuck to it and clamped it back together. I used as much resin this time as I had for the entire transom on the first attempt.

This time, after removing clamps...it held.
