Sealing tanks in a wooden boat

   This must have been asked before but to be frank, I'm to lazy to search for the answer.
Simple marine ply wooden boat with built in buoyancy tanks.

Before I close off the tanks i want to seal the insides.

Whats the best thing to use?

	Eposeal or similar epoxy-based product. No need for UV protection - obviously

	Thanks Noah I guess you get what you pay for in life but do any of the one part DIY type products offer any protection worth having. This isn't a great work of art and I'm looking to prolong its life on a budget. Ian

	G4, often discussed on the cvrda forum. Also known as Marinebond, in which guise it will cost you a fortune. buy it as pond sealer from your garden c entre or aquatice place.
	the same, but different...

	Agree on the G4 (or V8, a different brand) as a sealer when cheap, quick and easy is needed.
