And I'm with Bruce, paint and launch!
Rick
I'm with Rick and Bruce. No amount of epoxy (short of sheathing with cloth) will stop that check. Just sand and paint.

A Teal will float without any epoxy.

I just resumed work on a 12' Teal I built in 1984. She has been
sitting for about a decade. Last year I repaired the dry rot in the
gunwale, and I am in the process of coating her with epoxy. I had
to stop work last fall when the weather turned cold up there in
northern New Hamster. In there somewhere is a divorce(!) and
now I am down in de Boston area. It has stopped raining, and
now that it is insufferably hot, I seem to have run out of excuses.
Now I remember the problems with epoxy! I have really open
grain on this old plywood, I wonder if I should use more silicate
powder for the sides... Any comments, jeers, brickbats?
