sealing wood against water

[curium]

I'm installing a wooden bath panel. It can be cut to size. The instructions say that if you cut it you will need to seal the exposed wood.

What can I use to do that? I have a tin of B&Q Wood Primer and Undercoat, can I use that?

If not, can you recommend something that will be available in the local B&Q?

Cheers!

seal it with watered down pva

I thought PVA was not to be used in wet environments? Won't it just dissolve?

Do not use PVA it's water soluable you need an SBR based sealer.

Or even a couple of coats of varnish should do it; it's all I used on a home made panel we had in out last house.
