I have used West Systems epoxy extensively building and maintaining wooden boats. I've used traditional methods whenever possible but epoxy can solve problems quickly and economically that otherwise would keep a boat out of the water for a long time. A wooden boat out of the water for a long time is under stress and creates new problems.
What is nice about the West System products is that you can mix the epoxy straight without filler which allows it to saturate the wood for good adhesion. You can then mix with filler to thicken the mixture and most importantly add strength. The high strength fillers are sold next to the epoxy at any marine supply.
