It sounds like some of you guys use resin to seal your plywood floors. I have a project that I think would benefit from sealing the wood with resin. I would like to get something that works from the local hardward store so I can get my project done this week.
Then on future project for my starcraft I will probably use resin instead of primer/paint.
Does paint stick well to the resin?
Thanks

Use epoxy resin for best long lasting results, and yes, paint adheres well to it

Unfortunately I think the resin you can buy at the hardware store is usually polyester resin. Poly is great with glass but has no strength on it's own. Epoxy is what you need. My deck boards came out looking like bar tops! Nice stuff. Seriously considering doing my dining room table with it!
