We're getting ready to rebed our chainplates using MaineSail's butyl tape. We've read his very detailed and helpful instructions, but were wondering if we need to use epoxy to seal the face of the deck core in the slot that the chainplate goes through? Although we had slight water seepage which is what prodded us to look into this to begin with, there is no real sign of rotting in the core (we've already opened it up down below to check where the chainplates are bolted in place). Is that the determining factor in using epoxy versus not?
Given the time delays with epoxy and the difficulty in getting several consecutive days without rain around here lately, we would obviously prefer not to have to use it. However, we also want to make sure we're doing this right.
Thanks.

Of course "fast" is rather subjective; but ya get the picture. I have some twin-tubes of 5 minute that I wouldn't trust to that job, but also have some "one hour"that just might suit? I think West Systems hassome thickened stuff that freputed to be *quick* ??
