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? Ian ------------- RS300 |

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 ------------- RS300 |

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.
