Does this go the inside or out?

Both, if you want to protect everything. All the exposed wood should be covered with epoxy.

Finishing epoxy thinned with alchohol or straight ,apply it with a brush,bondo spreader or one of those credit cards from the multiitude of offers everyone gets in the mail.Spread out in a thin coat it neitheer builds up nor is heavy.
Epoxy paint is hard to find,most of it has been taken off the market,because the chemicals in it to allow it to spray, cause permanent central nervous system damage.
Finish with epoxy finishing resin,then paint with with your favorite paint.

Using a heater or hairdryer lets the resin run smoother in every little corner, don't heat it too long, because it accelerates the bonding proces.
