One of the things on my list is to "finish off" the aft bulkhead (It's a common problem on the Seadog - I was happy to buy her with the job unfinished so I could see how well the job was done - plus it just was one of the compromises I had to make).
I left things as they were for so long partly so I could see that the source of the leaking was sorted / the job was as good at it looked, but mainly out of laziness
Until I read the thread "
Using Epoxy to Stop Wood Rot" I was quite happy with how I was going to proceed.........but now I am a bit confused
The wood is Marine Plywood, and what I want is a finish in White (the aft cabin needs the light) that will never need any attention or only in 20 years time
. I figure that the wood will
not now be getting wet from a constant small leak (around the cabin hatch), but that some waterproofing would be no bad thing.......
My plan was to coat in Epoxy (thinned a bit to aid a smooth finish / penetration). And then to glue on some White "leather cloth" type Vinyl (to match the rest of the boat and so I don't have to finish the bulkhead with a Mirror gloss).
Without getting too technical
, anyone have any great objections to this plan and if so can suggest an alternative? (NOTE their is now
NO Rot involved
)
Obviously I still have to finish off that locker!
