Yes, that is common practise. Keep in mind that epoxy paints work well if
not exposed to sunlight. Very poor UV protection.

Wish more people did that. I've seen steel hulls with everything below
the cabin sole foamed in, and it seems to essentially trap moisture
and makes a nice damp sponge...with predictable results.

Can you coal tar the entire interior hull and then foam waterline to
hull joint? In other words, will ureathane foam stick to tarred steel?
And is there any benefit to this?
