Sealing interior with epoxy.
Be sure to get inside any holes.
Sealing underside of deck supports.
Sealing Interior
Now we need to seal the inside. It is vital
that all exposed wood be sealed.
Mix up about 2 ounces of epoxy finishing
resin. You can thin the resin with about
10% acetone, so that it brushes easily. Go
easy on the acetone, as it will soften the
epoxy glue joints if you use too much.
It’s pretty funny to get the inside sealed,
and see the side pop off the boat because
you thinned the sealer
too much…Don’t
ask!
Start from the front.
Using a brush, coat all areas of wood
inside the hull. Get inside the holes and
“Z’s”.
Get the bottom of the deck supports.
Try not to get too much resin in the threads
of the blind nuts.
Seal inside the sponsons very well. These
will not be accessible, so they must be
sealed well.
Continue coating the inside with finishing
resin.
If you need to mix more, use a new
container and brush. If you don’t, the old
resin will mess with the new resin, and
create a pr
oblem. Trust me…
