Hi Silver,
During our sailing days we used a product called WEST SYSTEM Epoxy. You can saturate wood with this very thin epoxy and it is impervious to water. I think it would be a very useful process for your problem. I know West Marine carries the stuff. Epoxy should be coated with paint or sun screen as it is subject to failure in UV when exposed to sunlight.
Also 5200 when not exposed to sunlight should only be used when you never intend to take it apart. I don't recommend it, there are lots of better more flexible adhesives IMHO.
WEST SYSTEM can be blended for several types of application. I also was steered to a neat product for our TC Roof. Liquid Roof is a liquid rubber product we have painted on seams. It was easy to apply and so far has stood up well. Our Lance dealer referred it to us.
Love to all,
