Repaired rib end finishing

I got the rib end repaired. It will get painted white like the rest. Is there a recommended sealer to put on the wood before painting? Spar varnish?

That weld on the hanger looks cracked?

A high quality Epoxy varnish is better than spar varnish.

Thank you. I'll have to look around the airport and see who might have a little of this. It's pretty expensive to buy for one rib end. Seems there should be another option that I can pick up locally.

That's the poly fiber brand.  You may find similar at your local hardware or marine store.  Just be sure it's epoxy.
