[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 301870, member: 6694"] I used the 105 epoxy system on my transom rebuild. It does soak into the wood some, especially in voids and know holes. I did not use the filler with mine, so I can't advise on that point. I just applied more to the voids until they filled. I did scuff the surface lightly between coats, as I would with a paint or varnish. Note that the West 105 epoxy is not UV resistant, and you will need a top coat of some type to protect it from sunlight degradation (per West Systems themselves). I used spar urethane on mine (also recommended by West Systems) since I wanted to see the wood, but paint would work just as well. [/QUOTE]
