Ep17 first planking layer on the bottom and sides

I've watched all of your videos featuring this Monaco up to this point and I will eventually view them all. I'm really enjoying your build project. I have a couple of questions. When you say you coat everything in CPS, are you talking about Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer from Smith and Co? And then, what you're calling encapsulating epoxy ... is that the conventional epoxy that we think of when we build boats? ...such as West System or MAS?

Hopefully the videos help you. Note that if you go to my Monaco playlist, the videos will be in order. For sealing I used CPES and it is Smith's clear penetrating epoxy sealer. For the encapsulating epoxy, I used to use glen-l poxy shield but it is not available anymore. I switched to system three silvertip epoxy. This is also the epoxy I used for fiber glassing.
