My original post was done in a rush on the way out the door. I’m looking to seal the door frames to the cabin and also the wooden compartments beside each seat. They are mahogany but have been coated with west system epoxy. They will be secured with ss screws, so I’m not looking for an adhesive...

I have restored the woodwork in the cockpit of my 23' W/A and am ready to reinstall. I was planning to use 4200 but thought that might be overkill. What would be best, 4200, 3000, silicone, or something else?

Thanks Bobby. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

I have a new to me 1990 Parker and am refurbishing the woodwork (cabin doors and cabinets beside both seats), which was badly weathered. After sanding to good wood, I put two coats of West System, then applied a coat of Epifanes varnish. I didn't thin the varnish as the instructions indicated...

I have all of my weathered wood sanded and I'm planning to go with 2 coats of West System epoxy followed by a 2 to 3 coats of varnish. Wondering if I should coat the back side with epoxy also. This side will be secured to the wall and the deck with cauking.

Thanks Cap'n Dan. I was leaning towards using tung oil, but most everywhere I have read suggests going with varnish. Is this the most common approach?

I have a 1990 23' walkaround and the trim around the helm and the door to the cuddy cabin is weathered. I've already pulled the wood beside the helm seat, and replaced the plywood with 1/4" mahogany and have sanded the frame to removed the weathered wood. What was used for the original finish...

I have a 1990 23' Parker Walkaround and the 1/4" plywood on each side of the cabin besides the seats have rotted and needs replacing? Does anyone know what type of wood this is? Mahogany maybe? The thicker 1x framing is solid but needs to be sanded and finished, as does the rest of the trim...
