Hello!

A few year ago, my wife's father built us (for her) a cedar strip canoe.

I live in the PNW. I've built I a lean to shed, and it's elevated from the wooden deck as well but weve had some mildew problems occur on account of the moisture laden cold winter air.

Especially on the yoke and thwart and breast hooks, all cherry

And a little bit on the exterior ash gunnels.

The hull itself is cedar strip, with a layer of clear fiberglass and epoxy over. It was 100% unaffected.

Were going to remove the affected cherry pieces and sand them, as well as scrape/sand the gunnels.

What should I put on the cherry and ash after to prevent this from happening again? I was thinking about thinned epoxy, a couple layers thick. Any advice would be great.
