Fiberglassing them is the best case senario, but you still have to glue the two pieces of 3/4" together, before fiberglassing them. Laminating would be glueing them together.

Not entirely accurate. You can fiberglass the two pieces of 3/4 together. Cut to fit both boards, lay a mat of fiberglass on one board and wet out with resin, and then either screw the two boards together or clamp them or lay on the concrete with some weight on them, like car batteries.
We used to do this years ago when we did wood transoms. Now we do solid poured fiberglass transom's....they last forever!

Perchin, what exactly did you want step by step on? Putting a wood transom with glass on it or a solid glass poured transom?
huntinfool said:You could use seacast, but we make our own and it is MUCH stronger than seacast. Seacast uses pounded glass and it is not near as strong.
I have been contemplating doing this. I just poured one and I think I have all the pics needed, so yes I can do it. Give me some time to get them all resized and ready.
