Using Epoxy to Stop Wood Rot

[JeffHale]

I am starting to work on the interior of a 20 year old sloop that has spent the last 18 years on the hard. Most of the wood appears structurally sound, but with numerous water streaks and surface mildew throughout. Thought about using one of these “penetrating” epoxies (such as CPES—made by the Rot Doctor, at www.rotdoctor.com--or MAX PCR—made by Polymer Products and sold on eBay—or WoodEpox—made by Abatron, at www.abatron.com) and saving most of the wood, but have received information from these companies very different than others.
The “high solids” epoxies (such as West and Bote Cote) claim to be far stronger and say that adding solvents (“thinners”) to reduce viscosity and increase penetration is unnecessary, and only (1) greatly reduces the strength of the epoxy and (2) leaves holes (where the thinner has evaporated) that water can later enter. By contrast, these penetrating epoxies say their products are (1) made from wood resins rather than hydrocarbons and are less brittle, and glue the remaining fibers back together, and restore useful strength back into the wood, without changing the natural flexibility of the wood; and (2) the solvents actually mix with and force the evaporation of excess moisture from within the wood.
Does anyone have more information on this issue? Also, does anyone know how these three “penetrating” epoxies compare against each other? Any information appreciated.
