Edge Sealing Phenolic Board recommended products? Help needed

[Bob_z_l]

Hi, hope this is the right place.

I am re-decking my trailer and have some boards to use but as I need to cut them I'll need a bit of something to seal.

Don't really want 20litres of stuff kicking around but a litre  should do it?

 

Looking through Brewers website only picks up sealers for brickwork. No mention of wood use. 

 

Any suggestions?

Didn't think it was necessary, but presumably any epoxy sealer wouldn't be a bad thing.

 

Just make sure your cuts are nice and smooth.

I used underseal, cos I had it, better than nothing. Don't buy cheap phenolic boards they are a waste of time, I did it with one of by Ifors had to replace it after a year as it was useless, replaced it with genuine ifor stuff. 3 times the price but lasts 10 plus years, so much better value.

What about thinned down varnish? Works well on chipboard anyway.

I just used marine ply and used  Shultz on the underside and fence paint on the top. Cheap phenolic ply is crap and good is expensive. 
I would have brought decent stuff if I hadn’t of had the ply to hand anyway, I’m quite open to the fact it won’t last like the decent stuff but it was free 👍

That is what I always use and let it soak in.
