[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 487711, member: 15636"] There's no right answer, as a few methods will accomplish what you want, but definitely seal the ply edge grain well. I do prefer epoxy for that, plus I epoxy the entire panels too ... but I have epoxy on hand. IMHO the $23 epoxy sample kit from Raka epoxy is enough to seal the edges, see: [color=#0000FF]http://store.raka.com/epoxysamplekit.aspx[/color] Then use any paint on hand to seal the panels, noting good enamels or barn/floor paints are better then latex paints, [i]which I still don't trust[/i], lol! [b]Another Tip[/b] - A 'dry' bilge is a happy bilge! Allowing any standing water to accumulate and stay in the bilge means [i]it has to go somewhere[/i]. Untreated wood would suck it up in no time ... [/QUOTE]
