 Epoxy coating of interior starts







in addition to its protective property this is a penetrative coating 
- plus and now this is a big help in deciding what gets painted and what gets varnished as some of the ply panels are quite boring  - what I am pleased with and is nice is that the structural mix fillets tone in well with the wood.


This IMHO is one of the most beautiful epoxy boats  - a pacific proa, "Jzerro" by Russel Brown



He also wrote an excellent book called Epoxy Basics
