[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 424306, member: 13599"] Dowellz - what are you going to epoxy?? there was about 4 threads in the last couple of weeks about sealing and painting decks, floors and transoms. Several views and opinions on sealing any wood project. different types of wood require different sealing methods and products. when you get to one specific project, that is when to ask your specific questions. for the transom - the general consensus is to glue your 3/4" plywood panels together first. The next day, make a cardboard template and cut your transom to size. sand all edges and flat sides. sand off the sharp corner edges - (they don't hold coatings very well). then, your choice of sealing and finishing methods.......... apply the same number of coats of anything to the wood for best results. not 3 coats on the front and one coat on the back. plywood edges are the most vulnerable to moisture penetration . . . . preserve them well. good luck in your journey !! Dale has wooed me over to "the dark side" with [b]Raka Epoxy[/b]. I have been a die hard West System user for 40 years and I must say that I like the Raka better - Thanks Dale !! [/QUOTE]
