Epoxy before roof install

Was looking to see if anyone had epoxied their inside or outside roof wood before they installed it? I was thinking it would make it less likely to crack or break with the epoxy, but is it then too difficult to bend?

First, the cured epoxy will not take a bend and will crack or pop off the plywood when you try to bend it.
Second, I'll say many do not bother to epoxy the inside roof skin. Epoxying vertical is a PIA, let alone overhead, all for something that really isn't worth it.

Thanks dh, appreciate the fast reply. My RAKA epoxy soaks in quite a bit, almost like CPES(just from reading about it), but I'm just going to use water if the radius turns out to be too much for bending without. I'm a few weeks away from having to worry about it, still need to finish layering my sides with epoxy and varnish.
