For plywood thin enough I have used doorskin. Suggest too that if you mix
acetone and west expoxy 50/50 mixing well - it will saturate the wood and
you would never have to worry about it rotting or having water damage. If
you then sand lightly and coat it in expoxy it will be really smooth.
All wood I replace on Flying Cloud has this done. Last year I rebuilt my
propane lockers and cockpit lockers and you can sure bet they will never rot
again. Another trick is if you decide you want something expoxy coated
inside: instead of painting it, save yourself work by adding white expoxy
colouring to the expoxy...and voila.

really spiffy! Indeed Nina the Energetic! I think it is something special
about you...that you tackle so many new things... I think for me I was more
afraid and it definitely took me longer to build the courage that I could do
it :) Go girl!
