A while back i asked about if it is okay to put fibreglass below the
waterline of my 28 foot mahogany lapstraked carver mariner.
Overwhelmingly the response was NO.

heres my next question,
Would just using epoxy to coat all wood surfaces of the hull be okay?
or does anyone see anything wrong with it? i need the quickest,
easiest way to make this boat waterproof so i can get a month out of
it this year at least. it has already been sanded down, just waiting
for my next move.

any help is appreciated.
thanks,

The thing about adding a light glass cloth to the epoxy is not strength
but to get an indicator telling you how much epoxy you have applied.
Wetting out the glass will ensure you got a certain minimum epoxy
thickness everywhere. This is much, much harder to achieve without
the glass.
