T&T: CPES epoxy

[Alec McLocklin (amclockl)]

 I have slight hairline cracks in my pilot house paint. The paint is
over plywood. Can CPES be used over these cracks in order to seal the
them, then painted over again?

paint teak.

We use CPES to seal wood window frames and other exterior pieces of wood
that are going to be painted, followed by primer and then the finish
paint, usually Brightside or Toplac.  In this climate it holds up
wonderfully.  The oldest paint job we have done in this manner is eight
years old now and pretty much looks today the way it did when we first
painted it.  CPES renders the wood impervious to moisture which actually
helps paint stay on longer because the surface isn't swelling and
shrinking all the time.
