Paddlewisers, Epoxy has to applied in thin coats, usually two, to prevent drips. I have coated about ten wooden paddles with epoxy and never had any drips. If epoxy is so terrible, I can't understand why two of the most respected Greenland paddle makers use it on their paddles: Superior Kayaks: http://www.superiorkayaks.com/superiorkayaks011.htm Beale Paddles: http://bealepaddles.com/laminate.htm I've made Greenland paddles with a tung oil finish too. It works too and is a simple way to care for a paddle. What it all really comes down to is whether you like the more natural look and feel of wood or like using modern materials to protect the wood.
