Weatherproofing the Hull

Ok, it's not a boat, so it has no hull. What I was really doing last night was applying an epoxy sealer to the outside surfaces of the Teardrop. I use a product from a company by the name of Rot Doctor (www.rotdoctor.com/)  called CPES - Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer. Just one application provides noticeable protection. It's even tough to sand once dried. Also note that it is very thin and easy to work with.



The second photo shows a partially-sealed side. The darker wood has been treated. The fumes from this stuff are quite strong, so make sure you have ample ventilation!

The vent fan is arriving today, I'll post some pics of that later. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be much more quiet than the prior unit.
