I belieive that Kilz (not Kilz II) is the chemical equivalent of pure shellac and white die.
I have seen articles buy, I think Payson And also Parker who mention that sheathing other than glass could be used on boats in conjunction with coating such as Urethane and Latex paint. Products discussed were muslin, canvas, Nylon, etc.

10/4 to that!
or it was over-heated in a kiln, warping, and twisting it all out of shape. Slow low temp kiln drying is okay but I don't believe anyone is even watching that monopoly industry.

Kiln drying can dry it as low as you want. A lot of stud lumber that

outside in the rain for an eternity after the drying. But certainly
if I buy a ton of KD cherry or walnut, I don't expect it to be
unuseable for years, it better be around 8% localy.
It air dries to whatever ambient allows, we get 8% here. In the
attic, where I store some stuff, it goes lower than my meter will
measure, as you say.
Kiln drying can mean many different processes. Often it affects the
colour and workability of the wood, usualy it's ok structuraly, at
least there is a lot of data that relates to KD wood.
For boat work, I don't care how it got dry, as long as it is.

There is a reason the pro's use the products principles they use. If we follow their lead it will save us alot of time.
As far as sealers are concerned why would you apply a product before painting which is intended to seal and protect wood which in other areas of industry is used as a release agent.
I can't imagine spending 2000 hrs building something with wet wood. I can't imagine building a boat with dry wood (especially Fir) that I didn't continue and seal with epoxy/glass inside and out.
Remember 10mil below water and 6mil above.
I talk pretty big, huh?

Mark, Kilz....I bet this will work well except below the waterline in boats which are stored in the water. Let us know. Smells like Pettit sealer primer which I used all over the interior of my boat. It would be interesting to compare labels to check active ingredients.

Mike,
After some looking around, I figure that the penetrating resins are not too very
worthwhile. Apparently, some of these are as much as 70% solvent -at epoxy prices. Also,
they retard cure time and give a much less dense and hard coat than straight epoxy, thus
less waterproof.
For a genuine epoxy coating, you can mix your own to improve brushability with up to about
10% Acetone, MEK or lacquer thinner if you've got good ventilation. Harold payson also
suggests the same approach with polyester resin and acetone to seal the plywood.

also got a $20 gallon of their latest 'Advanced-Natural' for my cockpit that is also water
based and has enough UV protection to last two years on house decks. Since I want a plain,
unpainted, flat finish, Deks Olje#1 would be great but cost as much than the entire rest
of the boat.
I don't know about the old stuff like Cuprinol. I haven't seen it lately but vaguely
recall a bad reputation for toxicity.
Just remember: many people seem to get by with a couple of coats of porch paint.
Some say the most important part of painting is your brush.

Back in the old days of bent frame and carvel planks, cuprinol was a
standard. As far as I know, it does not interfere with the epoxy.
Does any think it's a good idea?

In the US there is a product called CPES that some swear by. It's an
epoxy heavily thinned with very stinky solvents. Do a search under Smith
Co. and CPES. Better ye,t go to the WoodenBoat forum and search there.

Here in Canada,at least,there is a product manufactured by
Industrial Formulators of Canada called S1 Sealer.This is a clear
penetrating epoxy that goes into wood better then water :-) Perfect
for pre-paint sealing
The same company also manufactures a laminating epoxy resin which is
perfect for doing glass lay-ups over wood and it too is as"thin" as
water allowing for excellent,quick saturation of the fiberglass and
deep penetration of underlaying wood.I can't recall its "real" name
but it goes by the awkward name of something like HR-7839-4.....I
tell my distributor I want some G-3 and he knows what I mean:-)
I agree that most epoxy resins generally are too thick and best
used as glues once thickening agents have been added.
Hope this helps.
