[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 250398, member: 7791"] I wouldn't seal the surface you are gluing to. Between the glue (if laid down correct) and the outdoor carpet with the rubber like backing it will seal the wood itself on that surface. You can seal the rest of the surfaces that will not be carpeted. I did not seal any of the wood I put in my boat. By the time the wood rots out I will either be dead and gone or I will have a new idea and design for a floor plan. My boat does not sit out in the elements though, always garaged so I was not that concerned about it. But if you leave your boat outside or fish in the rain a lot I would seal all wood components. Others may have different opinions but that is mine : ) [/QUOTE]
