I was reading on another board that when you epoxy-glass a boat, you deprive the wood of the ability to breath naturally. This was their thinking against building stich and glue boats. It is my belief that strip built boats also employ epoxy coatings. They contend that epoxy always leaks a bit, trapping some moisture and thus causing rot. Is any of this true? Does epoxy-glass leak a bit and does it cause some kind of rot? Is there any difference in this regard between a stripper and stich and glue in the way it employs epoxy and glass? I am trying to decide between these two systems and I want my end product to be long lasting.
