Lets just make the statement "never" relative. Saturated wood with Expoxy
does not have a tendency to rot like unprotected wood.
As for the mast step stringers without West it lasted 20 years. It was only
glassed on the ends and now it is fully glassed end to end. I figure it will
last a very, very, very long time...certainly much longer than I will own
her - so relatively speaking for me is never.
If you take 50% west/ 50% acetone (or MEK) and mix well it penetrates well
into the wood. I have used this method well with West for many years with
success. I've heard it already so please don't waste your time starting a
flame war over the do's and don't of using acetone for penetrating.
