<p>Yes (except don't try to varnish or paint over oil), or you could prime and paint them and be done with it.<br/> <br/> <cite>Jerry S said:</cite></p>

<p>Do you know if I can use some sort of penetrating oil after the roving(Danish Oil?) and then varnish/tung oil over the top? </p>

<p>That is what I have at the moment but the roving is not particularly heavy. On another spacer block moisture has penetrated under the glass roving and it is partially detached from the wood but still whole - if that makes sense.

<p>I made the tillers out of oak as that was all I had to hand at the time. The weight is not a problem but when salt water gets into the wood they turn black.

<p>First, glass mat has no inherent strength and is prone to cracking if twisted.</p>
<p>I have always through bolted the tillers at the spacer blocks, then lashed with 1/8" low stretch line. Replace the line every 2-5 years depending on you latitude, just like any other lashing.</p>
