6-ounce fiberglass cloth is draped across the transom, and held up with a few weights. It only needs to overlap the transom in every direction by about an inch.

While its nice to have pre-coated the wood to be fiberglassed with epoxy, I don't believe it is necessary. I took a disposable paint brush and daubed epoxy resin on various spots across the cloth on the transom, and then took a soft plastic spreader with a 5-inch blade and spread the epoxy around. The epoxy easily permeates and saturates the cloth down into the wood below.

You can pull the epoxy resin quite a distance within the cloth. You pull in the direction where you need the epoxy to go, but also in a direction that keeps the cloth strait. If you get to an area that needs more epoxy, simply daub some on, then pull it thin.

Before the epoxy fully hardens, take a razor knife and cut away the excess cloth.

The last step for this transom was to bore through the fiberglass cloth that covered over the holes for the transom bolts. The motor board was added to the transom once everything cured.
