Author	Topic:   Urgent: Temporary prep of Ipe for eventual varnish?
Nevek	posted 08-17-2013 05:40 PM ET (US)         I am using Ipe as the base of my console. The plan is to use West System epoxy and varnish for the finish coats. The issue is, I am going to the Keys next week and would like to bring the boat along. There is no way I can apply the epoxy and varnish before the trip. The good part is, I can easily remove the console for eventual epoxy/varnish. The bad part is, I wouldn't want to use any sealants in between the deck/Ipe and Ipe/Console in fear of staining the Ipe. I also think oiling is probably not a good idea since it'll most likely affect the adhesion later on. Is it ok to leave it unfinished for a week trip in the keys?
