[QUOTE="skipper123, post: 434229, member: 6070"] I found out building a wood epoxy stitch and glue boat that the moisture already in the wood will rot it out real quick after you seal it up. Makes a enclosed area to rot. On a side note I have better luck in some cases to prime and paint the wood with no epoxy sealer to hold in the water and rot it out. I guess that's just for a amateur like me that don't know how to dry out and test the wood before sealing it up. I do know you need a moisture meter to make sure its very dry first. Most products bought in box stores has been sitting out in the rain just before coming in the store and is soaking wet with a moisture meter anyway. You cant tell by looks and feel. What I thought was dry as a bone was really wet and had to be dried for three months in my shop to get low enough moisture content to encapsulate with epoxy. [/QUOTE]
