The edges are not square. I'll have to see if I can rout some of the plywood without screwing up the veneer. And I thought this was a simple strip and varnish.

As part of our company's R&D we tested epoxy several fillers for resistance to cracking during thermal shock. We ran samples with ground glass fiber, cabosil, and glass micro spheres. The thermal shock profile was -55C (60 minutes), room temp (5 minutes), then +125C (60 minute soak). Repeat 50 times. The ground glass fiber resisted surface cracking best. The cabosilcushioned ferrite core material the best. The micro sphere performance was inconclusive for our application (commercial aerospace components). We are now testing an assembly that has 3 combinations of filler and cure schedule to achieve both surface strength and internal cushioning of the ferrite. We also run moisture and chemical resistance testing of epoxies but there is no organic fibers(wood) involved to show a trend of which epoxy withstand moisture best in a marine application. I typically use West System products. Martin Calypso 1970 C&C 43 Seattle ------------------------------ *From:* CnC-List [cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] on behalf of Dennis C.

Epoxy has little strength. The epoxy will split along the edges at the laminations and allow moisture to enter. Put some tape on the top, epoxy on the glass then carefully sand the excess.

I'll take that 105 off your hands. Let me know when it would be convenient to get together for a beer.

I used just a small amount when I drilled and filled the holes for my new rope clutches. Pat On Sat, Dec 22, 2012 at 5:17 PM, Pat Nevitt <pnev...@gmail.com> wrote: Joel, I used epoxy on mine. Did you ever look at the underside of the bilge cover on my boat? It's all epoxy.

Some areas look like they have been damp for a while, but they are not delaminated or spongy. Can I use a marine primer or do I need to spend on West System stuff?
