Thanks for all of the feedback on the differant sealers.  It seems that an 

epoxy is the best method, and the polybrush would seal eveything.   With 

this info I think I will finish all of my structual building with my West 

Epoxy, then brush a thin coat as far as the remainder will go on the wood.   

  Follow this with a good spray coat of polybrush and I'm In them.    

Unfortunately in my preparation for covering I have found more damage done 

by the former non-builder.  My trailing edges ar now removed and I must 

replace all of the aluminum backers for the flaperon attachment points, 

epoxy the old rivet holes, and drill the new ones in a sraight line.  Hope 

to be covering in a week or two now.

Ron, Your trailing edge aluminum must have been

installed by the same guy that did mine! I had to do

the exact same thing, I also added the 3/8 alum.

tubing to beef them up. Good luck, Don
