well its that time of year again for another project. last week I got some motivation and started to work on the boat again. I'm going to replace the deck and re-core the cap this time around and spray the whole inside and cap with gel coat. I'm keeping the deck looking like factory minus the stripes and re-coring the hatches. so just out of curiosity when you guys replace your decks do you wrap all the edges of the plywood with glass before setting it down or do you seal them with epoxy or just leave them be? any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks Brian

Brian, I can't answer your questions but please document your work well as I to am going to have to undertake the same project in a year or two and I am scared just thinking about it.

let me add this:
working with plywood: it's real important to seal the wood from any water migration - epoxy is the clear choice for this...and yes,you want to completley seal the edges of any and all plywood - it wicks moisture via the end grain...epoxy is a better choice for working with wood,due to the fact it's water proof - polyester resins are pourous,not the best choice for working with wood. the underside of the wood - you need to seal this as well... spraying with gel coat: gel coat requires a few steps - surface prep,spraying - 2 types of gel coat - "laminating gel" - this will not fully kick,unless sealed from the atmosphere with PVA.and there's "air dry gel" this has a wax in it that rises as the gel kicks - no need for PVA - the gel needs to be sprayed on to the needed thickness - gel shrinks...after the spraying,wet sanding and compounding is required... in the case of decks - the gel is rolled out... depending on what you want - a nice clean job,or a "utilitarian" job - that meaning,you're not really concerned with beauty - gel coat may or may not be your best choice... finish coating with awlgrip is gonna give you a nice clean finish,that lasts,awlgrip on the deck is clean and easy to keep that way.refinishing with paint,you need the prep,a good 2 part primer and then spray it - job over... rolling out the non skid areas... seriously - check out composites,before you start this job - composites are pretty easy to work with,light weight and strong as well...cost is less than you think - 1/2" penske board 4'x8',costs around $150...
