[QUOTE="Pector55, post: 469030, member: 25077"] Rather than sealing with epoxy or fiberglass resin, would coating the wood in Spar Urethane be better? What do you recommend between the 3 and what specific brand? I'm hear to listen to advice. I suspect that once the foam rises and bonds with the wood, it won't be easy to replace so let me know your thoughts. I have some "Total Boat" epoxy in my Amazon cart if that is good stuff. I have some time because before I put down the floor I am going to redo the seat placement, fix all the old bolt holes in the hull, and paint the inside of the boat. Then I'll put down the treated floor and pour the foam. After that I'll put down the carpet and frame for the sides. I plan on sealing all the screw and rivet holes with 3M 5200. Yes! The first two boards were pretty easy. I took measurements every foot. I told the wife I was going to measure out the front piece quick and cut it before I cam in to eat. LOL at the word, "quick". Along with the width changing, the lift had things getting frustrating to keep the wood level. [/QUOTE]
