In Response To: S&G: Staining the Deck/A Bluefin *Pic* (Lloyd E. Peterson)

I'm still concerned about having to add the epoxy seal following the staining, because I worry about being forced to sand that surface later to get the epoxy to adhere and in sanding it damaging the stain.

I. I could try to stain, stitch, fillet very carefully to avoid damaging the stained, but not sealed surface; then fiber glass at some late time.

OR

II. I could stain and seal, then sand (or scrape) for later epoxy/fiber glass adherence.

OR

III. I could stain and seal; and quickly (within 72 hours) stitch, filet, and fiber glass.

I think that II is what Ted Moores (Kayaks You Can Build) would advise.
