: Bill,

: I think I follow, but there's something I don't get. These
: pre-coated strips will still have to be faired and sanded, I
: assume. Won't that take off the epoxy layer?

Ok, yep, that's a problem. (downside of coming up with solutions at night ) Ok might try penitrating epoxy, the stuff used for rot repair. Git-Rot is the brand I've used. It's very thin and soaks into the wood. Once set up, it's a very fast setting epoxy, it should do the same thing as before but will be more than a surface coating and allow the surface to be planed/sanded and still not suck up the stain.

Worth an experiment anyway, they sell little tiny kits so this won't be an expensive test.
