I didnt notice the unfinished edge on you galley door before. What are your plans for sealing/protecting that edge from water intrusion?

Still thinking on that one. I'd like to have something thin that wraps around the backside, for the weather striping to hit. Something white and glue on. I would then put black trim around the outside edge. Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is extruded aluminum profiles. Then you can get edge lok weather stripping that clamps onto that. I'm not sure.

That's one of the advantages of the PMF process and prefab doors, I guess. All my edges are sealed.

One thing that might work is to coat the edges with clear penetrating epoxy. Lots of people like the total boat variant. It should seep into the edge of the plywood, and prevent water damage and deamination. I'd hate to see all that hard work get ruined by water.
