OK, there seems to be a good amount of debate surrounding this seacast stuff. But, not too many testimonials and longterm experiences from people that have used it. So, use it or not use it? where? why or why not?

I don’t know enough about the physical properties of the resin to say if its a "good" idea or not .... but I guess what your saying is that no one knows because it has never been tested? The resin might bond better to wood than any other polyester out there, but even that’s not close to as good as epoxy.

foca Junior Member

My thoughts were exact. It seems like you took the sample pretty far. I simply did an imersion test. But bonding is a big question mark in my mind. However, with an exotherm of ~190 deg, this may be more of a "weld" to the old skin. Rather than your standard glue-type bond. what do you think PAR?

foca Junior Member

went out there. Wolfgang was gone, so I did not meet him. Spoke with some of the shop guys. real helpful and nice. great people out there, all around.

I wonder what kind of polyester resin (It's polyester right?) the mix is made of. If it is all polyester wouldn’t that make it quite brittle? I think most polyester resins have a very small amount of "flex", so could a quick change in the load on the Seacast transom make it crack.

Why don't you just forget about Seacast and do the job the right way with the proper materials. If your replacing a transom in an outboard boat for example remove the deck tear out the rotted wood and put in new wood. If you do it right it will be better then new. Hope I wasn't too direct, Tom

22 hours ago  · Nov 9, 2009. #4. Re: seacast vs nidabond vs arjay. I used sea cast on a 16' ski boat I'm restoring. It was very easy to use, and I'm amazed at how strong the transom is now. I have a friend who used it on his a couple of years ago, and sold me on it. If you do use it, make sure you make some kind of "funnel" to pour it into the transom.
