Has anyone used this on their trailer framing? Someone told me it's an absolute must for good trailer restoration, but I haven't heard it mentioned here.. So I'm asking the experts.
Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer. Apparently makes wood totally waterproof so it won't rot if in contact with water. True?

You also can barely nail or drill into it. If we are talking about the same thing that is! It can be purchased at marine supply stores. Por 15 makes one called Pelucid that actually strengthens as it comes into contact with moisture, so they claim.

Sounds like overkill for a vintage trailer.. I'd say replace the rot, not patch it. Sounds enticing but really isn't the way to go. Fix it right. (new wood)

Maybe your frame won't rot so fast, but if your frame is exposed to water, that means the exterior is leaking. If that's the case, you've still got a problem that will have to be addressed by repairing and most likely removing the skin or portions of it… plus all the other problems of moisture getting inside your walls. I would also imagine that anything called epoxy would be an extremely volatile compound. I would keep it out of anything called 'living space'. I would sooner build my frame out of steel channels before using epoxy like that.
