i'm thinking since it's similar to powder coating in a lot of ways and
therefore may have the same drawbacks, I'm going to give it a miss and
just use standard epoxy paint instead..



whatever process you use get a tube of Duralac and smear the face of
the metal abutting the wood with duralac, then push them into position
and bolt. this is a jointing compound designed to prevent corrosion
between dissimilar materials.
it is used in aviation and it works.

the rest of what you are doing is quite ok.


Thanks. I'll do that! Would you put a bit on the bolts as well?


certainly. dip any rivets you use in it as well. smear it in a
continuous coating between dissimilar materials and let it squish out
as you nut up the fasteners. wipe off the excess. it dries/cures to
something like a rubbery coating.

works metal(steel etc) to aluminium as well.
