Re: How to protect transom plywood?

[amuller]

Thanks for all the input. Lots of opinions on this, and no perfect answers. I favor penetrating materials over an impermeable surface coating, because the barrier will likely be imperfect and saturation will result. There is not a huge amount at stake with the plywood pads on a tin boat, but an encapsulated plywood transom on a chopper-gun fiberglass hull is a whole different story…..
