Re: [bolger] Epoxy Over Paint

Paysons Instant boat book has thoughts on this. Fir Ply will check without/with a sealer so if you are using that you might want to thoroughly soak the ply with a paintable copper preservative.

That will not work.  But you could opt to paint it well and never glass it.  Be sure to keep the paint in good shape each spring, and repair dings in mid-season.  I'll defer to others on the right paint. - Bill

I am finally about to knuckle down and purchase materials for a Payson's Pirogue.  I calculate that I can save about 20% in material cost if I defer sheathing and paint the hull.  I wonder what experience people have had glassing over painted wood.
