Polyester boat resin in a plastic film lined box is still your best
and easiest process. The lower resin viscosity will penetrate wood
fiber better than solvent diluted reactive resin systems. UV
resistance is a plus. What ever system you choose, read the labels and
know in advance what the hazards are in working with them. Amine type
hardeners in epoxies, for example, may cause dermatitis in some
people. Never had that problem myself, but have seen it in the
workplace. Good luck.

Thanks, Joe. Any articular type of Polyester Resin? I called my local
boating supply store and was told they have several different types.
