Two suggestions. First use Occume Plywood, the stuff last forever without
rotting. Second, don't sheath the boat with Epoxy. You can not waterproof the
wood, but with "encapsulation" you can almost guarantee that once water gets
in, and it will, it isn't getting out. Use Epoxy as an adhesive and paint the
boat like any other wooden boat. If the plan calls for a sheathed bottom, so be
it, just paint the inside.

I have spoken with Payson about this in the past and he agrees.
"Encapsulation" seemed to get big just about the time Epoxy became readily
available to the general public who is a bit more gullible than the old school
builders I bet a Goo manufacturer made it up:O

I sheathed them because the original wood I used was low quality and
it was rotting within a year. The MiniCups were intended to have very
short lives, almost disposable, but once I had built them, I decided I
wanted them to last a long time.
The original instructions say they will last a couple of seasons only.

Yes, I have followed your fun with the mini cups. All I am saying is if you
make another one or two, I would go with the no rot wood and paint...
