minor water damage to rear deck behind seats infront of engine

[palace]

I have minor water damage to rear deck of 1987 Bayliner Capri. Wood is solid no soft spots, just surface warp/flaking of plywood and fiber/epoxy flakes. Stringers are solid and clean.
Plan on sanding down surface, then use wood sealer. Should I lay polyresin and cloth or just paint. I plan on replacing carpet next year. I would rather not tear up because wood is solid.

I will post pic's tomorrow.

sanded and treated with JASCO wood sealer. Only had to sand about 1/16 with coarse belt sander to get clean wood. I think AZ heat killed most of the glue thin expoxy with fiber shreads in middle. Glass on edges of wood is rock hard. I will let this cure for 2-3 days, prime , paint (oil base) rustoleum, cure another 2-3 days then re-glue carpet. Yes this is only temporary. Next year plan on re-carpeting entire deck.

So are you asking for advice or just letting us know what you're doing?

I am always looking for suggestions, advice or critiques. Thinking more about it I might only glue the edges of the carpet, because I plan on redoing deck carpet next year. This may make it easier to bring up, less glue/adhesive to scrape up.
