BobP Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I most often use Devcon Two Ton epoxy thinned with some denatured alcohol so that it soaks into the wood. I sometimes use multiple dips of propionate (aka prop) dissolved in acetone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicbaits Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Just wondering what others are using to seal the wood before painting and clear coating? Rich minwax wood hardner.. you can brush it on or dip it and let it soak. I do this after I have put in screw eyes then remove and drill ballast holes in bottom. After sealer is dry I then epoxy in my weights and screw eyes. Seems to work great. Edited April 1, 2010 by Toxicbaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use minwax wood hardener. It seems to protect the wood well, hold screw eyes better and you can sand it real fine to get a good smooth paint job.
