Waterproofing a wood hull
Hi everybody
I have scratchbuilt a wooden hull for a rc boat. I would like to know how to fill the gaps inbetween the wood and how to seal and waterproof the wood. Would wood filler be OK?
Thanks

Waterproofing a wood hull
I've used wood filler and spackling compound to fill gaps. To seal a hull, use a slow setting epoxy and after you put it on, wipe it off with a paper towel. I tried it after seeing it on another site and it works! A lot smoother and lighter finish. If you want to get trick, get some pigment and mix in and you will save yourself the trouble of painting it later.
