I'm not sure how this would relate to the rudder, but I put on a layer of penetrating epoxy before I paint or varnish as a matter of habit. It helps seal the wood and certainly shouldn't change the "balance" of the rudder. Glassing is a whole different can of worms.

Mike,
I'm not sure what would be the point of putting epoxy on the rudder. Salt water doesn't rot wood. You've seen our M40 which is 40 years old and the rudder is in great shape just with paint. I'd be concerned about the epoxy cracking as the wood expands.
Best regards,
Peter Karczmar
