I'm not certain I care for an epoxy over wood paddle. They're going to get beat up, and especially with a softer wood like western red cedar, or sitka spruce (though not sure what you've used for your GP.)

I'm happy smearing 3 or 4 coats of Watco teak oil on my WRC GP, I just need to do it relatively frequently.
