Transom lamination
Drywall screws with wooden washers or strips screwed into the jig's 2x2" lumber held the sheets together until epoxy cured. Mixture of washers and strips for no reason other than what was in the scrap pile.
I was concerned that the hardened epoxy would grip the drywall screws and would snap them when I tried to remove them. All these screws in the transom lamination removed without difficulty. During the course of the build, I never had a problem removing a drywall screw from a hardened epoxy structure. If I did, I would use a torch to get tip of screwdriver red hot and then hold it on the screw long enough to melt the gripping epoxy (140 degrees). I understand this also works for getting Lock Tite to release.
