In Response To: Re: Other: Sealing Plywood? (Bill Hamm)

I'm very happy to hear this. In an e-mail, Tom Yost assured me that epoxy will seal it up fine as well. Also, there is a photo of a Nikumi made by Rich which used Birch Plywood. I'll let you all know how it goes!

: On my Yost Sea Ranger I used cheap birch ply from Home Depot, stuff was junk,
: but sealed up fine with epoxy. Nothing will seal like epoxy. The edge
: grain on birch really won't take much, it's not real porous.
