Firstly,ive tried bees wax it dose work untill the first really warm day when the damm stuff drips!Thats almost worse than water.
I dont like epoxy in theory it should work very well but ive had a boat on which the trim had been screwed and epoxed it had been done some years before i bought the boat & leaks were starting,it was time to remove the trim and reseal but the epoxy held so well i couldent get it off cleanly.That was a very big job!!
The other drawback is that the trim has to be revarnished from time to time and even trim with a half inch face is very hard to sand without damageing the cabin sides & deck and by hand the sanding and re linseed oiling or re staining takes for ever.Much easier to remove the trim and if the woods become to old replace which cant be done with ease when its glued
So far it hasent rained and i touch wood it wont???
I think ive fixed it??The other day the roads were being repaired in a small village i was tied up by a disused facrtory i asked for a pot of tar which they gave me i masked etc and poured that around the cabin seems to work
No time to say more im standing in someones garden with the x40 in one hand typing with the othere in a moment so one might ask what im doing!!
