If you paint a piece of unfinished wood with CPES it won't ever rot.* CPES soaks into the upper layers of wood cells, fills them, and seals them permanently as long as there is some sort of finish on the wood.* CPES, like most epoxies, is not UV-resistant so needs something-- varnish, paint, etc.--- to keep it in the dark.* But CPES is the main tool of the trade with the wood GB crowd.**We use it on all our exteriorand interior*wood prior to finishing.* It's no good on wood that already has a finish on it, but if you're going back to bare wood or starting with new wood, it's terrific.
