Hi great video, I just have a question i have brought myself a putt putt boat it has a timber top someone had fiber glassed over it so i have now taken all the fiberglass off , it now has bare ply i was told on a boat forum to rip the ply off and get rid of it but i would really like to keep the ply on there can i stain over it and what would you recommend i put on top of that someone said epoxy resin or would marine varnish work any help Appreciated.

Hi there, your best bet is to contact one of the shipwright's directly. Ply on boats is never good if exposed to the elements, best to remove or cover in epoxy. Just marine varnish would still need redoing each year to maintain coverage. Cheers
