    What to seal bare wood transom with?

    Hello all,

    I am progressing on my TFL Ariane 2 cf build. I am ready to send the hull out for some small graphics and clear coat.

    Before I do that I noticed the inside of the hull transom is bare wood. I would like to seal that with something before paint.

    Is there a marine grade urethane I can use?

    I thought about epoxy but it is too thick.

    What should I use to seal up my plywood
    ransom?

    thank you for your time,

        Laminating epoxy works well. While you're at it, a layer of CF wouldn't hurt........but I do like to overkill things.

        One tip I learned from the guy who built my full scale boat is to make sure the wood is sealed inside the transom through holes.............yes overkill on a RC boat Use epoxy for that as well.
