I must cover my plywood with epoxy (of course) in a stitch and glue boat.

I'm thinking adding a dark green pigment would make for a durable camo
job. Right? Wrong? "Am I an idiot"?

You are correct. Epoxy should also be painted with an U V. inhibited
paint as it tends to chalk after an few years.

Or? If ya got the pockets for it, aluminum dust in the final epoxy.


How about explaining this?

Aluminum dust is added to aircraft dope to make what we call "silver"
coats. The aluminum dust provides UV protection for the fabric underneath..

I've done some fiberglass parts that way too.
It works fine.
