<p>Great looking boat Jayson. James were you thinking about that dark? The Okume takes on a nice color with just the epoxy on it, yes much lighter than Jaysons, but alot darker than the bare wood. Then the varnish gives it some amber tint also.

<p>I would just sand with 150 first and then go through the staining process and yes definitely stain into the scarf joint about 1/8" - 1/4", since it is a water based it wont hurt the joints epoxy adhesion. I would also recommend putting in some alignment marks on your plywood just after scarfing so you dont have a problem joining the panels together later, its much harder to see the scarf after you stain to match it up well. </p>

<p>thanks that help me greatly would you suggest wiping the panel down with a damp cloth to raise the grain,dry, and then sand before the conditioner and stain. and did you stain slightly into the scarf before epoxying the panels together so you don't get a line unstained or would that make the joint compromised </p>

<p>James, I have used water based with great results and would recommend you use it. From what I understand analine and alcohol dyes tend to fade much quicker than a water based, most likely its a penetration issue. With the water based you will want to scarf your plywood first, sand with 150 grit and then use a wood conditioner to open up the grain before stain. After you finish the staining process you will want to wait a good week to let the wood reach equilibrium m/c before applying your…</p>
<p>James, I have used water based with great results and would recommend you use it.

With the water based you will want to scarf your plywood first, sand with 150 grit and then use a wood conditioner to open up the grain before stain. After you finish the staining process you will want to wait a good week to let the wood reach equilibrium m/c before applying your first coat of epoxy. I used fir plywood the last time i did this process but cant speak to okoume plywood and how well it stains so make sure you do some test runs on some scrap</p>

<p>Have you tried alcohol or analine based stains yet? Epoxy + water based stain = issues.</p>
