In Response To: Re: Strip: glassing problem (Bill Hamm)

if you've precoated the wood, there isn't a
: reason anymore to work with falling temperatures, the sealed
: wood can't outgas.

One coat of epoxy on bare wood is not airtight, out-gassing will still occur.

I don't even trust wet-out glass over a seal coat to be air-tight or water-proof.

Just as I don't trust only a wet-out glass layer inside the hull to be waterproof.

I don't seal coat the interior hull/deck wood. The seal coat on bare wood is to ensure a transparent
good cosmetic look for exterior surfaces.

I only forget about temperature swings after the first fill coat on the glass.
