[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 302803, member: 7544"] Don't waste your time with Thompsons or similar products. You'd have to pull the wood back out every year to recoat it just to have a chance of keeping it from rotting and that wouldn't be a very good chance at that. Use spar varnish(not urethane), fiberglass resin, West Marine epoxy, or one of the other sealers you see mentioned a lot in the build threads. And be sure you buy exterior rated plywood (not pressure treated). Once you've got your replacement piece of wood cut to size, drill all your holes in it and drill them just a little over size. Then when you seal your wood, be sure to seal inside all the holes you drilled. [/QUOTE]
