Thanks guys for all of your help. Ill keep thinking about it, maybe
flexible apoxy paint.

How long do you think the hull will last if i encapsulate it from now?
are we talking a year, 5 years, 10?

Hi, We just finished putting a layer of fibreglass on our 1973 Carver
Mariner 28' (wood) below the waterline, but I am looking for a product
or something (liquid) that i can pour or spray into the inside of the
hull that will seal the hull from the inside, is CHEAPER than using
epoxy, and will be very easy to apply. I am hoping it will settle
into all of the gaps and spaces that may be present in the hull that i
can't see or get too without removing the interior components of the
cabin.

Anyone have any suggestions? tar maybe? lol.
Thanks for your help,
-Jay.

Hi

Probably best not to encapsulate on the inside, it may need to dry out
from the inside to stop rot.

Why was it encapsulated on the outside? Also is it lying in salt water
or fresh, and does any rainwater leak into the bilges or are they dry?

cheers,
Pete.
