Worth treating the ply, you'd still have the boat. Shame to lose all

It was built with leftovers in my garage and could honestly
say it didn't cost anything, since I would have had to buy
the stuff for other jobs anyway.... except for the oars &
oarlocks, which I'm not including in the cost since I still
have them and use them on another boat. Realistically it
cost about $30 and four or five hours work.

Considering the use we got out of it, that may be the
highest payoff ratio of play/work I've ever achieved in any
boat.

Frankly I think the problem was the lauan ply. I've used
thinned epoxy on other exposed wood since and have not had
this result.
