Phil Geren on Staining Wood Deck Materials:
I was planning to stain planks prior to assembly, then use CA first, to get things fitted together and in place, then cover with 0.25 oz. fiberglass cloth and "thinned" (MEK or IPA) epoxy. Flex Coat epoxy people (fishing rod mfgrs) recommend heating the epoxy surface with a heat gun (hot air) prior to it's hardening, to release bubbles and smooth the surface, like what you see on fine fishing rods.
AMYA Star 45 Class Rules, 2006, DECK

laminations (Formica). It may be covered with any material. Thin plastic films, such as MonoKote,
are not allowed for decks except as coverings.

integrity are maintained.
