Re: epoxy resin coating wood?
I'm in the process of doing this on my boat with standard 1/4-3/4" plywood depending on the application. I have been coating both sides and all edges with resin and, where applicable, fiberglass.
As a matter of fact, I have just come in from outside after coating some parts with resin. Just waiting for it to dry.
The resin part is pretty easy once you get the hang of how much hardener (the clear liquid) to apply. Not enough and it takes too long to dry. Too much and it starts to gel and dry in the pan you mixed it in. When I first started, I actually counted the drops per the instructions but after a time or two, I just started eyeballing how much to add. Sometimes it's just right and sometimes it's off but I've not had to scrap anything because of it. If you get it too thin and it's not drying right, you can just whip up another batch and paint over it. The new coat will accelerate the previous coats drying time. It really is very easy.
Also, you can use Acetone to thin the resin down a bit depending on the application. It goes on easier that way. I don't thin it down every time, just depends on what I'm doing with it.
