Second, is there some sort of finish that I might apply to a plywood boat that would provide the necessary waterproofing whilst at the same time being clear, so the grain of the wood remains visible? Epoxy. Which must in turn be covered with an UV inhibiting finish because UV breaks down epoxy rather rapidly. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Varnish that says it has an UV inhibitor. In both cases, the amine blush has to be washed off the epoxy beforehand. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
