[QUOTE="Colorado1135, post: 500514, member: 18449"] In marine grade they get rid of the voids, if you're sealing it anyway that doesn't really matter, in fact I think those open voids helps in taking in the epoxy so it could be a benefit perhaps. My reference was to the grade of exterior. ABCD refers to how finished one surface is, if it's all gonna be enclosed in aluminum or fiberglass who cares if one side came super smooth from the factory? It's not bad to use marine grade, but I'd rather put money where it counts, and in my opinion this is a really marginal place that isn't worth the extra expenditure. I've done a few and never had an issue, please if you have examples to the contrary let us know, I'm always up for learning more if I can. [/QUOTE]
