Thread: What Filler do you use on superstructure of Ply wood trailer sailer

Search West System on the internet, they have a comprehensive epoxy glue / filler solution for boat builders.

Bote Cote is the product I've used in the past. Whatever system you use wear disposable gloves and maybe even a barrier cream on your hands. Allergies to epoxy resins are common and not pleasant. Also wear a dust mask when sanding. I'm probably telling you how to suck eggs but when you see someone who's had a reaction to the products, following the safety warnings sticks in your mind.

Except with a very small number of folks, epoxy reaction issues require a lot of exposure, so some minor repairs will not produce issues.

You can use most fillers on an unencapsulated boat, but if the boat is encapsualted (epoxy) then you will need to use a thickened epoxy mixture to fill things.
