: Just wondering if people have used polyurethane to coat the plywood frames in
: Yost style wooden SOF. Epoxy might be more waterproof but it is a lot more
: expensive and a bit more difficult to work with. I think it's not a bad
: idea to coat the chines/stringers/keel with polyurethane as well?

: thanks

I coated the edges with epoxy and then varnished all of it. You really don't want the frames delaminating and there's alot of exposed edges.
