    Painting Plywwod

    Thanks, I'll take a look into it. I've done a bit or research and I see that boat-builders use low viscosity epoxy to seal edges of ply. If I can track this down...seal the edges of the cuts and the openings for to pop hole and nesting box...then I should be able to paint with a good quality...

    About to get started -Question: Wood preserver and/or Paint in the UK?

    Cheers for the reply. Happy to got with the all weather wood, but I dont know where to get the other stuff to seal the ends when I cut them. I'll look into it. I guess I could always seal the timber base as best as possible and replace it if it rots? It's only a small part of the total frame in...
