Kha Shing Spindrift 40
Good day! I’ve got some dry rot on the Mama Jama. I’ve chopped out the old rotted wood down to good wood and have cut new hydrotek 3/8” plywood to patch the holes. I have a couple of questions:
1: I was planning on waterproofing the new panels prior to install. Penetrating epoxy is recommended, but I was curious if anyone had used one-part deck sealer for this interior-above-the-water-line application. It’s cheaper. I found this stuff:

:dance:
2: Any particular product recommended for filling and fairing the seams between wood panels? I was thinking just that green glass-reinforced filler that you can get at auto parts stores or Home Depot.
3: Interior paint? I’m going to paint some interior walls white to accent the previously all-veneer interior and hide some of these repairs. Any recommendations for adequate but not obscene interior painting products?

Cheers!

Before the rebuild should be the repair.


"Dry Rot" is usually a sign of a small leak, fix that first.
