I would probably coat the whole thing: I've found that if you try to just coat part of it, the edge of the epoxy shows up as a slight color change. Tod Mills M17 #408, 1987 galley model BuscaBrisas

Thanks all for the advice on epoxies. So, in addition to using it on the edges of the plywood to fill in those holes and gaps, I should also give the face a coat as well before using a polyurthethane/varnish, such as Bristol Finish? I used Bristol Finish on the toe rails, handrails, and the two strips along the hatch. I like BF which wears like iron. I was going to use something else on the hatch boards for fear that the BF might chip and crack on the edges from the constant on and off with the drop boards.
It's never simple is it??
This whole week is going to be in the mid 80's with N NE 10 kt winds. So I hope to be on the water and not worrying too much about varnish, etc..
