I am milling 16' lengths of western red cedar into strips for a jollyboat.
This wood is fresh from the forest and is moist to touch.

Can I have some opinions on what the surface moisture shld be before I
epoxy and FG this stuff?

Cheers, T.

some epoxies can actually be mixed and applied underwater. Some can be
applied to damp surfaces, others cannot.

The real concern should not be the epoxy but rather the movement of
the wood. Woods expand and contract with moisture, other things,
including epoxy, expand and contract with temperature...
