Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes I have alot of pin holes and fish eyes. I tried a wood sealer but it
didnt seem to adhere.
I tried a epoxy clear coat just to see if it would stick and it didnt do to
well either.
I am fairly sure the part is clean.
I really like the polywood though, I currently am manufacturing with
wood and would love to make a change over to polywood.
Thanks for any help,
Charles
